Need advice or help finding the right part.

[Rapha Pretorius]

We bought our gardener a Raleigh Nexus 2.0 29" bicycle. The frame is nice but the shifters and V brakes are not good. He took it to a local repair shop and they buggered it up by replacing the rear shaft bolt (so now the warranty is voice) and the hub cone is missing so the whole rear wheel wobbles.

I've cycled a lot but know very little about the parts so I'm struggling to find a replacement online that I can buy to fix this.

I'll add images here to show the issue. If someone can help me find the right replacement or suggest alternative fix that would be appreciated.

He's a young guy from Malawi and he takes great pride in his bicycle which he rides to work every day, so I really want to help him. I'm also going to start looking for 2nd hand shifters and disc brakes that I can use to improve the bike for him.

Looks to me like they left some of the parts out when they reassembled the wheel. I always find it quite disappointing that not everyone can just do things correctly the first time. I believe that I'll be able to assist with the parts you may need

Looks like the cones just need to be adjusted correctly,  unfortunately can't convert the bike to disks. The brakes are average for this level bike. Upgrading the shifters is not a quick fix you might need to replace the rear derailleur and cluster to get it all working. 

Suggest you rather save the cash you would have spent on Upgrading and put it towards a good used bike
