Wheels Manufacturing CN-R096 Front Hub Cone

This cone is designed specifically for Shimano Ultegra 6400, 105 HB-5500, 105 HB-5501, and 105 SC 6400 front hubs. Before purchasing, verify your hub model number, which is typically stamped on the hub shell, to ensure an exact match.

You will need a 13mm cone wrench to properly install and adjust this component. Because hub adjustment is critical for bearing life, we recommend using a dedicated cone wrench rather than a standard open-ended wrench to avoid damaging the flats.

No, this is specifically engineered as a front hub cone. Rear hubs have different thread pitches, dimensions, and load requirements, so this part will not fit or function correctly in a rear wheel assembly.

While not strictly required, it is highly recommended. If your old cone was pitted or worn enough to require replacement, your bearings have likely sustained similar wear, and installing new bearings alongside the new cone will ensure the smoothest possible rotation.

This cone features a 9mm x 1 thread pitch, a 15.0mm diameter, and a total length of 12.7mm. Always double-check these measurements against your existing cone if you are unsure of your hub model.
