Had a little faux paus the other day on my initial ride. Seems that the rear brake pedal was adjusted a bit high for my riding position and I rode the brake long enough to compromise the cush drive rubbers.
I tore the hub down to investigate any further damage and found that wonderful puzzle of spacers, bearing, retainers felt washers etc, etc. Seems some parts were missing but I thought I had everything that was important to bring things together without slop. I reassembled the wheel/hub this morning sans the cush drive rubbers and although the wheel has drawn up without play, the brake drum seems to "float".
Is this normal? Will the cush drive rubbers keep the drum in the proper relationship with the backing plate?
