Folks,
Here's another question, though this one is sadly "for reals," as the youth of today, in their
infinite linguistic creativity, say. I wound up overhauling a batch of hubs today, and in the
process bent not one, not two, but THREE! dust caps on my wife's Shimano RSX-equipped bike. I
attribute this hamfistedness to being sick as a dog and tired to boot.
My stupidity and its causes aside, is there any hope for fixing these? In checking the archives, the
consensus seems to be that they aren't available readily as replacement parts, and therefore the
best thing to do is to munge them back as straight as you can and try not to worry about it, which
would be easy had I done it on my bike. But my wife's?! I fear marital disharmony is in the post.
Either that, or the speedy acquisition of parts for a new, better wheel.
Help me!
Trent
