Rear sprocket & Cush rubbers

Vernon240 · Oct 12, 2021

One other thought...if the BST wheels seemed to have the same arrangement, would they not have these? I'll ask. I'm in communication with them over other matters

Hi , lcrken said that he was able to get the BST dampers to work in the spoked hub , IF you press out the steel insert or machine down/get smaller bolt heads . This was all posted some time back..

I just checked and the BST Cush rubbers are $95 for a set of 5. Almost $20 usd ea. Also , they are not trouble free , they recommend rotating the rubbers 90 degrees to prolong their lifespan. I think the ultimate solution is to replace the wheel/hub with a better design Cush drive.

Good information Tony, mine will be going into the dealer in a few weeks for a service and rear tyre. I'll get the mechanic to check BST rubbers of course, but also to rotate them.

If it helps , I have been told the the BST cush rubbers last longer. It may come to be that the latest TCDR-1 last longer too. Has anyone ran them for more than 2000 miles yet to check condition ? Maybe Richard Peace anyone else. ?

New Chain & sprockets 2 yrs ago at approx 17,000 miles , picture of the last official Norton ones I had along with front sprocket & chain , Stuart Bodycote ( Motorvated) replaced Cush drives again last month at 24,000 with the talon ones , & covered around 900 miles since, I may go for Avon tyres next spring ( choice of “ Welsh Rugby “) so we shall see how the Cush drives are doing then .
