Broken Shimano Nexus Hub V-The final chapter

This is the end!
When you get here you are done.
The part that broke,


is no longer produced and Shimano has no suggestion for a replacement.  So the rest of this stuff

is now useless and the only option is to buy a new unit and use that until it breaks.  A great example of planned obsolesence.  Buy another? Yeah but this time it will be a Sturmey Archer.

    Un fortunately, that part is no longer made. My LBS orders dorect from shimano, everything I could want for that hub is available except that retaining ring and they offer no substitute or suggestion. Pretty cool, hugh?
