I'm doing an overhaul on a bike.
The cones are pretty shot I reckon. I need one of the following fixes:
1. New Cones for front + rear axle
2. Full new axle (front and rear)
3. A way to "repair" the current cones on the axles.
I've googled this a lot and not had much joy but maybe I'm looking in the wrong places or maybe you have found an excellent supplier.
So far I've spent under £100 on drive train and brakes. (bargain hunting gone well) so I'm REALLY not up for spending more than about £20 TOPS on this. I live in the UK and found a few excellent options like this:
before realising that the shipping was £30.

I only need cones that fit the wheel that is to say 10mm diameter 26TPI and for use with 1/4" bearings on the back and 7/32" bearings on the front.
by the way WHY WOULD PICK 7/32" BEARINGS CAMPAG!
I'm not set on getting campy cones (would settle for other if cheaper and easier to get) but I would need to know, for certain, that they were actually going to fit right. I have shiny new bearing so I just need the cone. The reason I mention a whole new axle is because that might be cheaper. If a new axle presents it's self then it need to be compatible with the original 8sp Freehub that's on the wheel at the moment. This thing:

ideas?
EDIT: What happens if you put an entirely new axle on the thing. Can I do it? Would the bearing size change? What options do I have of making these wheels run true without buying an entirely new wheel or changing the freehub.
