Shimano Ultralight Carbon Knob Installation

(1/4) > >>

Eric Tai:
Tried to install one of these on my 20000SW today but couldn't screw the end cap onto the knob with the rubber o-ring in place. I've tried screwing it in by force, only to succeed in hacking up the soft aluminium cap and having it protrude 2mm or so. Either the groove that the o-ring is sitting in is too shallow, the rubber too thick, or the space in the knob is too tight. Anyone encountered this problem before? I'm thinking of omitting the o-ring all together and using a generous coating of grease to discourage water from getting in.







Installed with out the o-ring:

Luke Wyrsta:
Eric, you need to stretch the o-ring over the lip it currently sits at so that it sits flat underneath the top edge.

Eric Tai:
Thanks Luke, I tried your suggestion. I finally managed to get the o-ring to stay above the groove and tried screwing it in with these results:



Left: without o-ring, Right: with o-ring

Still looks like its sticking out a bit, but I've never seen one from the factory to compare with.

This photo makes it seem flush to me.
