Sansin thingy on a Shimano hub and Shimano skewer? Yeah, I would just get rid of it. I have two sets of RX100 hubs, and both have the typical conical springs on their skewers.

As for function -- maybe to hold something for a bike computer or mechanical speedo? None of the Sunshine/Sansin hubs on Velobase have anything like that piece.
