Piggin cush drives

Well my new ones arrived today , but didn't want to just put them in without anything else !!!!

Been down the old bits of inner tube route and found bits of mashed up rubber when i took the back wheel out !!!

So got to thinking ......................OK i know its dangerous but needs must, seemsto me there's to much play in the cushes from new , hence the inner tube bits , alas these to wandered about , in my hub anyway !!

What about something thats going to fill the gaps but still allow a certain amont of movement !!!

Thats where this ideas come from

SILICONE

Both side of the hub have been well cleaned





New cushes fitted DRY



Applied the silicone along the top edges of the ally spacers so when the cushes were pushed on they'd take the silicone down with them.



As you can see it's ordinary house hold silicone and i repeated the procces on each ally section



Next i siliconed along the top edge of each cush drive so when the outer hub goes on it has the same effect as before





Here , not the best pics , but you get the idea , the outer hub seating into the base and silicone




Now , onlt time will tell

But the worst it can dois NOT WORK and the set silicone will peel out very easy !!

I've got about 5k kms left in the back tyre so you'll all have to wait for the prognoses !!!
