I have a Specialized Hardrock sport disc 2009

The front cones are pitted and need replacing.
I'm trying to find a suitable replacement.
The old cones are Ø15.0 mm x 12.6mm long with an internal M9 x 1.0 thread.

Would I be correct in thinking that any cone with the same dimensions would be suitable, assuming the radius for the balls is the same?

The nearest I can find is a CN-R083 which I think would be a suitable replacement.
Am I thinking right or can anyone point me to a supplier of a suitable cone.
Nearest decent LBS is 20 miles away so an online source prefered.

Thanks

No direct help, but just in case you haven't: check the inner (hub) side of the race and the bearings too. Chances are they'll be pitted also, in which case, it's a bit of a waste of time doing the cones (might possibly have done that myself..)
