New bike mechanic here. Customer brought his bike in with a wobble in the wheel. After some inspection I found the his rear axle had a break below the freewheel. It’s a cup and cone style hub with a threaded axle. The hardware and cones are in good condition but I need a new threaded axle. Any way you can see obtaining this? Or should I find another work around. TIA

Your shop doesn’t know how/where to get replacement axles?!?
