Re: Information and sign up
Good to see everyone getting ready for the rally i however will be bikeless, my cush drive bearing exploded on the way home from Inverness today. Lucky for me my back wheel didn't lock up and i managed to keep control. Stripped out my back wheel at the roadside whilst waiting for RAC to find a heap of split peas in the hub any ideas what caused this? plenty grease, wheel torqued ok bloody strange. Any way i'll have to walk the hundred or so yards to the campsite but will be there.

How old was the cush drive...how many miles on it. They don't really last more than a tyre. I change mine every 6k and on the last change i had lots of little small round bits of rubber inside.mabawza wrote:Good to see everyone getting ready for the rally i however will be bikeless, my cush drive bearing exploded on the way home from Inverness today.
