Murphy's law in full effect

Rebuilding a set of Athena hubs in preparation for an upcoming build, and it looks like these cones are a little short:crap:

And I'm mysteriously one ball bearing short of a full deck, just to top things off.:crap::crap:

Finding a set of Athena cups here in the middle of nowhere on a Sunday is a bit optimistic. Dang it.

I should have called the guys at vecchio's like the old spudster recommended.

Good thing I'm in no hurry.

I need to be out there riding anyways.:bike:

Bummer, I've been there before.

The left cone is the replacement and the right is the original? Is the original pitted, or can you just reuse it?

[Cicli]

Missing one bearing is no big deal. I have heard of guys putting is as many as they can -1 anyway. I would just run the old cone if its not pitted.

[Tickdoc]

Pitted pretty bad both left and right. Had to be one bearing short because I was careful removing and thought I just counted wrong.

I have a couple of local options I can try before I order some new. I just love tinkering with things on non ride Sunday's. Just par for the course in my routine of bicycle mechanics.
