Its not that big a deal... an O ring is not even a $1. All 3 of my knobs now sit flush.

Just pointing out Eric is better off with a $1 outlay rather than going without a O ring if he wants it to sit flush.... and the O ring is supposed to sit in the groove, not above it.

I would need to open my cap to check but I thought mine sat above unlike yours.

Is there an instruction with the JDM?

Eric Tai:
Thanks for the reply guys, I've been in S'pore for a week so excuse the late reply.

Luke, the thread isn't damaged, the cap screws in perfectly without the o-ring. For the time being I've packed it with grease. I didn't receive any instructions with these handles.
I suspect they've shipped with the wrong o-rings (thanks for checking Joseph), the tolerances between the cap and carbon fibre are way too tight to fit the bulky o-ring that came with both handles I bought.

Now I just need to find somewhere to get some thinner o-rings, tried Bunnings but couldn't find any thin enough.

I'll have a look at the dimensions and see if I can find any at Shimano service for you.

Eric Tai:
Cheers Luke!  :D

Garry Wong:
guys,
i am having a problem with trying to take off this knob from my 4000xg JDM as the main shaft(second pic) seems not holding to the main handle
as everytime i try to take off the screw(fisrt pic) the main shaft where the screw mounts follows the screw spinning as well.
anyone have the same issue with their JDM?
i even try to take this to shimano, but they couldnt take it off, and all i got is my handle and my knob was scratched/damage deeply and badly(not sure how, but i guess it looks like a damage from a some sort of pliers)
