Front Wheel axle (Quando) with 1/4 bearings
I've recently overhauled a Quando front axle with pitted cones. Fortunately, I do have a Quando hub with the common 3/16&quot; and not the unusually large 1/4&quot; ball bearings.
However, the bearings had standard sized balls at 3/16 in. I replaced them with with Shimano Y00091210 balls.
I couldn't find the exact cones as replacement. However a standard set of axle + cones did fit with only a marginal increase of distance between fork ends.
Since Quando hubs are not good at all, and usually built into low quality wheels, perhaps a complete wheel replacement would be a better offer to customers?
A 1/4&quot; ball bearing front hub is hardly serviceable. What is more, Quando hubs need servicing very often because tolerance are awful. (My well maintained one was done for in less than 1000 km.)
