The bold bits are not true. lol. The only bearings that should have the split rings are "PHB700 Small rear hubshell bearing" and "PHB515 Large rear hubshell bearing" When looking at these from one side you'll see a stainless steel retainer clip/split ring and from the other side you'll see a nylon carrier for the bearings. The drive shell bearing "PHB516" should not have a split ring on it. You should be able to see the bearings from one side and the nylon carrier from the otherside. Also if you did happen to get the split ring off you would find a rubber seal. The bearings would not fall out all over the place. And as pointed out by Jon Mac its not a rotor body its a drive shell on a king or a freehub on most other hubs. Sorry to be such a geek about it but there's something fishey going on with your hub if its got a split ring in the drive shell.
You can get an idea of how everything goes in this Drawing. The only place I've ever seen the split rings on the bearings are in the hubshell bearings not the drive shell bearing.
Smokers are jokers. Tell the truth, be a man and own up. I can't stand all these little creeps that lie every chance they get just be honest about it all you'd get a lot more respect being honest than you would trying to make up some bullshit story.
I think its that thing someone posted a few weeks ago where you have 2 gears but no shifter. Basically you pedal one way to set off in a slick gear then when you get going you pedal the other way for a harder gear.
