I don’t know much about bearings, but I do know that’s not how a bearing race should look.
As I mentioned yesterday, the front wheel on my bike wasn’t turning right, moving slowly and stopping almost as if it was indexed or notched. When I took it off yesterday to look at it I found that one of the lock nuts were very loose, so today after work I pulled the bearings apart and cleaned them up. After cleaning things up I found that one of the cones (the loose one) has this damage to it, which would definitely explain the weird motion.
I’m not sure how this came loose, but it definitely wasn’t a problem before Saturday’s amusing ride. Now to decide if i want to get a new cone nut and try and rebuild the hub on the fairly damaged wheel, or just toss it and finally get a new set.
Right now I’m leaning towards the latter.
