It's fair enough to have an opinion on what should be done but it's fairer to tell people a fact rather than something that's made up.

I've had people on here doubt me before on this subject and then they have gone to see their own bike mechanic only to be told that their cush drives have had it. I'm just doing people a favour and passing on my experience as I was quite taken back with the improvement it makes.

I recently bought a new set of chain/spockets and I had in mind to buy new dumpers as I have never changed the original ones(35200km...)
All that till i found this post ang glad that today I couldn't buy the dumpers because my dealer was closhed(lucky me!!!)
Inner tube for me please(New dumpers= 30euros)

cush drive
 

well i use wellyboot wall rubber!!!!!! shock horror, let those who wana do a 'proper job' do it and those who wana use their noddle carry on defo no need for every 3000 though. happy new year

Well reading this has put my mind at rest.

I was getting a bit twitchy after only 2500miles and all that play.

I am normal.

Welly boot rubber eh, I like your thinking, wonder where the missus left hers.

Kev, do you pack the inner tube on the leading surface or the trailing surface? i.e if you look at the hub from the outside would the inner tube go towards the back or front.

So on drive is all the pressure on the inner tube?

Hope this makes sense ?
