Shimano hub dust cap needed

    So my conversion of a disc hub to fixie has hit a stumbling block.

    The fecking hub is a pain in the arse. Long story short, wheel was wonky so I took it apart again and found that two ball bearings had gotten driven into the dust cap. Dust cap is now deformed and it doesn't seem possible to fix back.

    So if anyone has an old wheel/shimano mtb hub lying around that has a dust cap like this one.. I would appreciate it ! Joey D could do nowt for me unfortunately.

    (looks like the one ring, don't it !)

    Failing this, I may look at buying a complete new set of MTB wheels for the rockhopper, and retire the old rear one to be a flip flop style fixie wheel for the banana. Hopefully lots of people will get new wheels over christmas and sell their old top quality ones for nuthin.

    Hey Verb. I think I've got an old mtb disk wheel knocking about in my folks shed. It's a rear though, any use? I'm off to the land of no internet in the morning so I'll check in when I'm back after christmas but it's yours free if you want it.
