mountain lx hub replacement parts

[Beeewu]

Hi all, looking for some advice from hub experts.
I'm looking to repair a mountain exage hub which is missing the axel, cones, bolts ect.
Would other style hub parts fit or would i need specific mountain lx?

Thanks
B

Do you have a model number?

You'll need to know you axle length 130 or 135, the cones are probably generic one but you may or may not have the correct seals on it, if that matter.

It might be cheaper to buy a similar working hub, Exage etc and swap it all over.

Can do some more later.

Hello mate, yes sorry should of mentioned its the rear, HB-M451 is the model number.
Ive seen a HB-M450 rear hub for sale on ebay for £20.

HB is front FH is rear, I think short for something like HuB and FreeHub

It will be FH-452 for mountain-Lx
FH-450 is Exage Mountain and would be for a 6speed setup and only up to 130mm.

Compare the lengths, and again early 90s Exage ###LX and Deore LX
