WH9000 C24 owners can you help me out?

[smead]

I just bought a used pair and upon reviewing the hub in shimano's techdocs prior to regreasing

http://si.shimano.com/pdfs/ev/EV-WH-...CL-R-3334A.pdf

I found that (at least I think) that mine is missing a washer/spacer. Unfortunately in the techdocs parts diagram below, the washer is not available separately (is part of #8 the left hand lock bolt unit), nor do the techdocs indicate the thickness of the washer. When I measure my spacing once assembled, I get around 128MM, and I did not have this washer behind the outer lock bolt (the silver end with the 5mm allen tip).

Can someone please let me know the thickness of this washer? You probably don't even have to unscrew the outer lock bolt (if you do don't worry the bearing preload is unaffected because of the clever splined housing it tightens on to that holds the preload). I am guessing it is around 1-2 mm, but would like to be sure. Once I get that, I go scouring around to find the right replacement.

Part of the reason for this request too is just to confirm with other C24 owners that this washer is indeed there and that's the piece I'm missing making my spacing a bit less than 130.

Thank you in advance!

Remind me in the AM and I'll take a look at my wheel

Still hoping another WH9000 C24 owner can verify the presence and thickness of this washer for me!

I just measured mine and got 2mm, hope that helps.

Not trying to be a smart-ass but 128mm for a 130mm wheel..and yours doesn't have the washer...I'd guess 2mm...yes?

Maybe you didn't read to the end of my org post:

"Part of the reason for this request too is just to confirm with other C24 owners that this washer is indeed there and that's the piece I'm missing making my spacing a bit less than 130."

I was not sure that this washer was even there. Hence my request, wanted to be doubly sure this was where I was missing the extra spacing.

Thank you so much for checking this!

Interesting.., when I look here -

the thickness of the washer sure looks a lot thinner than 2mm, more like 1mm or a bit less? So I was looking for something thinner than 2mm thinking my 128 measurement must have been off a mm or so.

EDIT - nevermind the above, that is a front axle! So thanks 8aaron8 for confirming what and where I'm missing - I'll hunt for a 2mm to go behind the non-drive side locknut.

Not a problem, the diagram makes it look really thin as well, I was surprised when I pulled my wheel off that it was as thick as it is. Should be an easy find at a local hardware store.
