Toast or fixable?

I've got a FH-M765 rear hub that has developed some 'play', like the bearings are worn. No rumbling noises or clunkiness. Can it be fixed? Thanks

cones or loose or broken axle i would assume.

That looks like it will have "cup and cone" with loose bearing in it. Probably just needs to be adjusted by someone with a set of cone spanners. Your LBS could probably fix the problem pretty quick smart.

yup, but best to get them to pull it down and rebuild it with fresh bearings and grease

Thanks, relieved, taken it to Burkes for a full service.

works great for gluing up split tips/flappers from too many crimpy schist routes too :thumbsup:

Any mechanics got any old shifters in their box of spares?
Long shot I know, but i'm after a cover for a right hand LX 8 speed shifter/lever combo
code: ST-M567.
It's for my retro bike :blush:

any idea on year?

the only odd thing with those calipers is there could be 2 different types of levers to make them work as I recall

one generation of that caliper works with the newer mini lever, one works with the older pro / sport lever, and I can't remember how to tell which is which
