There was a keyed washer, just not under the locknut. He put the keyed washer between the ball bearings and adjustable race. I looked on
Sheldon Brown's site to get the order right. It's ok now but I found out I dont have a seal between the crown race and the ball bearings- how much of a problem will that cause?
