new axle.
i need a new axle on my bike. it has a freewheel hub, it says r&r fluid drive. it also has a2bt b1. i cannot find that anywhere. my axle is bent, and i have straightened it once. took the freewheel off to clean it. found most of the tiny 1/8 inch bearings, only had to buy about 10 of them, got that all back together and working now just the axle it was all apart and i am not sure how it goes back together and how many bearings. everything was in a bucket covered with dirt and hair. all clean now. just need to reassemble the axle. then i notice a big crack on the rim. i guess it was good practice. Does anyone knows where i can get a well-used rim? or should i jb weld it?

See if there is a bike coop in the WA area, bring in your rim so that they can see the wheel size and let them help you find a suitable replacement; shouldn't be expensive. One way to learn the basics might be volunteer hours at said coop, and you'll be able to not only help yourself but others that might be "in tour shoes" in the future
