I recently acquired a shimano mountain bike. I've replaced the bottom
bracket and it's bearings and now turned my attention to the rear wheel
which had a lot of play in it. It's a 26" wheel and has a set of 6
sprockets
attached. Removing the spindle, I found it to be deeply scored and the
cone
on the sprocket side badly mangled. Getting a new spindle and cones isn't
a
problem, but it seems to me there's probably something missing from the
set-up, as there's a big gap between the cone and the housing, so even
when
I refit the spindle, cone and bearing balls, it's not going to take up the
play. When I took it apart, the balls were around the outside with enough
room for the cone to pass right through. Is there somewhere I could check
out a diagram online to see what's missing?
And how is the group of sprockets removed? Not that I need to right now,
but
I'd like to know for future reference.
TIA
Steve
