I had a bike crash last week, and yesterday I discovered that the clip on the rear hub was off. Actually it just moved a little, but the rubber seal (ball) is no longer there. I think part of it is in the hub. I can see some of it. The clip itself doesn't have any of the black rubber seal left.
Can you actually order those clips? IS it necessary? Or do I need a new hub?

The clips are avaible as spare parts. Depending of the year they were made the partnumber is FH-RE002 up to '98 and HB-RE102 '99+

The rubber ball is probably in the grease hole, you can order these clips but I would just slide the clip back into place and ride. These 'oil/grease' holes are nice for mid season grease inserttion but does not substitute for a hub OVH, which is really easy with these-2.5mm allen, two 5mm allen-
