rear wheel - cush drive rubber trick
Hi guys
I've mounted yesterday the rubber-mod for the backwheel on my 660Z - does you already know that (then i didn't catch it...)? Now the rubber should hold longer than 15-20'000 km and there's no space between the rubber and the chain support. First i cleaned the inner part of the chain support: 
Then i produced eight pieces with 0.8 and 0.5 mm thick sheet (2.2 x 4.2 cm) and spice it together: 
then i mounted them on the cleaned spaces 
Now inserted the brandnew rubbers and there won't be any space left for a much longer time than without this mod. If Kev or one of you UK-guys did already described this mod - sorry - otherwise - i just can recommend it. cheers, Andy |

I did exactly the same on my Tenere and the cush rubber drive lasted over 40 k km.
So thats a good improvement compared to stock. And easy and cheap too... :-)

Material thickness
Did you use those two different material thicknesses on purpose? Was it necessary to get the right fit for example?

thanks and sheet thickness
@snakeboy: nice to hear that your 'gums' lasted 40k km- my colleague has reached 30k and it still fits
 .
@pepsi: thanks! the simple things are mostly useful. @mb4807: the optimal thickness would be 1.2mm - i wasn't getting a sheet with this dimesion in my local shop, so i made my 1.3 mm sheet and pressed them together with glue to get it. one piece of 1.2 mm would be perfect. left hand greets from Switzerland Andy |

I have just done this job using 1.5mm plate. With a bit of lube, the sprocket carrier slotted in to the new cush drives with no real problem. I did use a strap round the sprocket and to the spokes just to pull the assembly together to make refitting the wheel in the bike a bit easier. Just saying, you don't need to stress it if you can only find 1.5mm plate as was the case for me.

Cool - thanks for feedback and enjoy the mod. And the tip with the strap is very good - have it also done after a frustrating half an hour....it's so tight against the old 600-T�n's.
cheers, Andy Last edited by deandy; 20-07-15 at 14:41. |

Hi bow
As written in my last comment: Simple '2-component-in-minutes-dry-glue' - if it's not fix after some years - i'll glue it in again at the next tire- or rubberchange. It's anyway pressed in with the rubber - there can't be happen any damages - if you check it at the change of your rubbers. cheers, Andy |

Great mod Andy and well explained.
I've taken the liberty of amending the thread title (by adding "cush" and "drive") to make it a bit easier for folk to search/find it in future. |
