Here you go gentelmen !!!

Got the bike up on a padock stand i forgot i had !!!


Once the wheel was off opened it up and found this !!!




Looks a LOT WORSE than it is , some of the silicone had come loose , but i must reiterate " i am a bit of a nutter"



On this next pic you can see where the cush has rubbed on the ally in the left hand slot



And the black circles show that there still is a certain amount of movement, i hoped it would !!



All the bits cleanded off , and i as thought very easy to remove



Hard to see but on the top circle you cab see a little horizontal rubbing



There still was a certain amount of crud in the hub ( i am a dirty rider !!) so i 'm putting at least half of this down to the ****e i ride in !!



Here's a bunch of pic of the rubbers, still have wear , but checked the kms and this is after 3724kms






I would be interseted in compairing others wear of similar mileage !!!

Putting it back together i put a lot more silicone in this time so as to leave no air gaps............to a degree !!









CONCLUSION
It defenatly took all the slack out of the back end and seems to me to hardly of worn.
Weather it has done any good at all , we'll see !!!

BUT the whole excersie cost pennies so nothing lost.

Again if anyone has pics to compair i'd love to see em

Phil
