|   Shimano freehub dustshield | Steve Manthey
Oct 11, 2001 6:51 PM | | Recently I was servicing the XTR freehub on my bike and in the process, I destroyed the outer dustshield on the freehub trying to remove it. I ordered a new new dustshield from my LBS and I received an aftermarket reusable aluminum O-ring sealed piece. It looked like a good idea except when I assembled the thing I noticed that I'm not able to use the original rubber seal that is located on the bearing cone because the new dustshield has a smaller bore. The package states it is for "1999 all Shimano 9 speed". No alternate seal was supplied either. Seems weird. Has anyone out there run into this yet? Any help would be great. Thanks!
