Description
Onyx Cone 8mm
Product Overview The Onyx Cone 8mm is a precision alloy cone component designed for custom Onyx hub builds. The 8mm size accommodates standard BMX bearing configurations. Manufactured as a custom component, each cone is made to order for exact fit specifications on your Onyx hub assembly.
Key Features
- Alloy Construction – Lightweight aluminum alloy resists corrosion and provides durable bearing surface without excessive weight
- 8mm Size – Standard sizing for BMX hub bearing applications; compatible with matching bearing cups and races
- Precision Manufacturing – Custom-manufactured to exact specifications for smooth bearing operation and proper cone seating
- Bearing Surface Design – Engineered cone geometry ensures even bearing race contact and consistent rotational characteristics
- Custom Made-to-Order – Each cone manufactured individually to match your specific Onyx hub build and customization choices
- Sold by Unit – Purchase individual cones as needed for your custom build configuration
Technical Specifications
- Component Type: Bearing cone
- Size: 8mm
- Material: Alloy (aluminum)
- Compatibility: Onyx custom hubs
- Manufacturing: Custom made-to-order
- Production Timeline: 3–4 weeks standard; up to 4 weeks in some cases due to custom build backlog
- Quantity: Sold individually by unit
Compatibility and Ideal Use Cases
- Fits: Onyx custom-built hubs with 8mm bearing specification
- Best For: Custom Onyx hub builds requiring bearing cone replacement or assembly; loose-ball bearing configurations
- Ideal Riders: Those building custom Onyx hubs with specific design and customization preferences; riders performing hub maintenance
- Installation: Cone threads onto hub axle; hand-tighten until slight bearing preload is felt, then back off slightly for free rotation
Important Notes – Custom Order Requirements
- Made-to-Order and Final Sale – All Onyx products are custom-manufactured and final sale; non-returnable regardless of circumstances
- Production Delays – Current lead time is 3–4 weeks from order to completion due to custom build backlog; some orders may take up to 4 weeks
- US Shipping – Orders placed in the USA ship directly from Onyx upon completion
- International Shipping – Orders shipping outside the USA route through BRG in California before final delivery
- Verification Required – Double-check all specifications before confirming order; changes after manufacturing begins are not permitted
- Quantity Selection – Determine exact cone quantity needed for your build before ordering; each unit sold individually (typically one per hub side)
Maintenance and Installation Notes Cone tightness directly affects hub bearing play and smoothness. Proper adjustment requires light preload with free rotation; excessive tightness increases drag and bearing wear. If replacing worn cone, verify matching cup condition to ensure smooth operation. Reusable component suitable for repeated adjustments and maintenance throughout hub lifespan.
