If you have bought Hi Lo's from Minisport in the UK: they come with a black plastic cap on the end of the cone. Do I take this off or fit the hi lo with it?

It fits with or without it in! :oops:

you're not talking about this bit are you? if so, then yes, the cup stays on there - it's called a knuckle

1/2 fill the cones with some good grease too stops corrosion over time

Leave 'em on... They help to keep the threads from rusting up...

It's not the knuckle I'm talking about - it's the other end that you can't see in the picture.

Consensus seems to be leave them in as they help prevent water getting into the cone thereby preventing corrosion. Plus, grease absolutely everything!

Thanks... :D
