Morning J et al...
Glad that you got something out of it J
and really great to see you all again
Well, the repair time for the ST I used for the day got protracted further this morning after I removed the cush blocks
...
...the distance between the red arrow
should be a tolerance fit to the flange drive's
65mm...this damaged wheel hub measures
63.4mm to 64mm....it neither round nor a tolerance fit for the drive flange.
THIS IS CRITICAL! because until it is repaired, all future replacement cush drive rubbers AND the alloy blocks WILL fail prematurely!
The gouge marks within the red circles are from direct contact of the alloy blocks AFTER the complete failure of the rubber cushes...on this bike the dealer had re-used the alloy blocks and had inserted 1 or more USED rubber blocks and fitted a new flange drive. The alloy blocks I have removed, have corresponding witness marks to those gouges within the wheel...I will be
unable to refurbish these blocks like the ones I showed people.
I may begin a separate thread on this repair latter.
Cheers, the can :-)
