Tom Hawkes Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 (edited) Hey folks. Got my 005 today and I am pretty pleased overall. However there seems to be no gasket at all inside the crown or the tube as far as i can see. Is this correct for those new models with the new crowns and hexa-tubes? The older modded reps I had, had always gaskets at the base of the stem inside the crown.. Also the lever closes super tight and hard, so I'm not sure if a gasket would even fit there. I saw some pictures of springloaded crowns that had the gaskets along the winding stem, but I doubt the H-factory reps have that. Didn't take it apart however and didnt find anything regarding that gasket for the 005. On this picture from HeadToucha it seems like theres agasket inside, however not the round ones like on the old reps but a flat ring? Can someone please educate me?

eddiemonster Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 In the picture, you are correct, the new 005 does have a flat gasket and not the tubular type. You are also correct that the 005 lever closes a bit too tight, but there's room for the gasket nonetheless as it sits in a recess and the force of the lever will compress the rubber regardless.

Tom Hawkes Posted March 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 Thanks for the info! Do you happen to have the exact dimensions for a gasket that will fit? I guess I will order one from cousins or something. If thats the "QC" and "waterproofing" from Joshua.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrboombasteke Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 Are the 005s back in stock now? Last week, none of the dealers I checked with had them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Hawkes Posted March 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 (edited) Thanks PeteM. Seeing your pictures, definitely no gasket in mine.. Do you know the dimensions of it? Are those two gaskets in the crown? Looks like it on the last picture. @mrboombasteke I had it ordered on 19.2. and it was shipped right away.. It just arrived today with a massive delay. But I read somewhere that the dealers will get the new stock on 15.3.. Edited March 14, 2011 by Tom Hawkes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can calliper it if you want...where do you want the gasket to sit up in the crown..? Or rather are you modding it or is it staying a 005K?

I can calliper it if you want...where do you want the gasket to sit up in the crown..? Or rather are you modding it or is it staying a 005K? Well when I pull the crown all out I should be able to see the gasket inside the recessed area of the crown, no? But it's just bare metal. Would be awesome if you could calliper the gasket(s), so I know what to order. Doesn't need to be right now, but when you have a spare minute in the next days.. As for modding it: Nope, I want it to stay a 005K. So if it just fits the way it's supposed to be like on yours I'm fine. Crown/case spacing is not an issue for me, so standard gasket will do, I guess. Thanks in advance! :drinks: Edited March 14, 2011 by Tom Hawkes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txcollector Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 if you 005K came without the gasket I'd just contact the dealer and ask for one to be sent. For the hex tube you really want the flat one and I'm not sure Cousins will have it. It's very hard to see the gasket with the crown mounted. Have you removed the crown to check?

Tom Hawkes Posted March 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 (edited) No mate, I just got it today and didn't feel like taking the CG off the removing the stem right away. But I guess I will do now.. BRB edit: Man, I'm a total noob... I should listen better to you pros. Didn't look like it with a flashlight and magnifying glasses but theres indeed a "gasket" in the crown.. Doesn't look like the one on the picture of PeteM though. It's a rubber disk that fills the complete recessed area without a gap inside or outside. That's why I could make anything out inside the crown without taking it off. Sorry for wasting your time guys but the offered help is much appreciated. Edited March 14, 2011 by Tom Hawkes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
