Had to get a new tube fitted yesterday after a puncture & on putting the sprocket carrier back on the wheel we found a fair bit of play.
I had new (genuine) cush rubbers fitted only 1800 miles ago, I don't use the Tenere hard or off road.

Is this normal? I know they don't seem to last as long as you'd hope, but 1800 miles??

Apart from the used innertube "bodge" is there anything else I can do to prolong their life?
