I have nothing important to add except if you have one, don't assemble it like the one in the photo - the inner cage plate is upside down.

(The fact that it's also missing its cage rotation stop screw is not fatal; those screws don't come into play at all in normal use. They just help make putting the wheel in the frame a little easier)
