Hello everybody. I accidentally bent the metal seal in my Shimano R500 while cleaning the hub and I need a new one. I found this online:http://www.niagaracycle.com/product_info.php?products_id=413195
But I do not know if it will work. It looks the same, but I don't know the size.
Do any of you have this wheelset with some extra seals. I will be willing to buy it from you.
Also the inside of the hub is brown. The bearing track is still smooth, but they are brown in color. I can't afford a new hub or wheelset, so I have to make these last:(. Thanks!
EDIT: Here is a link to a blown up pic of the wheel. The part I need is labeled "6"
