The Shimano FC-8000 rubber ring is a replacement outer sealing ring for Shimano FC-MX71 DXR crankset spindles. This wear-item seal protects the crankset bearing from dirt and moisture intrusion. Replacement is necessary when the seal becomes cracked, hardened, or no longer creates a watertight seal around the spindle.
