Problems with cush drive assembly. Part II

Post by GONDARMAH »

Hello everybody

A few years ago I made a question about a problem, but it hasn´t been solved

http://www.bevelheaven.com/~BB/phpBB2/v ... .php?t=520

“the rear sprocket (with his cush drive assembly) has axial clerance, 1 cm aprox. Wheel does not have axial clerance and turns freely.”

It is very difficult for me to explain how I have put the spacers son attached some pics

The problem

I think your spacer is in the wheel backwards. The sacer that goes between the wheel bearings inside the wheel should be turned around. Mine is set up so that the extra spacer is sticking out on the cush side, not the rotor side as in your pics. Mine may be wrong but it works fine.Also , the cush side spacer you have on the inside of the cush drive is on the outside on my bike. One of us something together wrong! I just put mine together about an hour ago.....

Hey Gonzo,
It sounds as though we had very similar problems.
I put new bearings in mine and no matter what I tried I had axial clearance of the sprocket. The cup that holds the carrier bearings was a loose fit into the sprocket carrier and the lip was worn down.
Mine was resolved by replacing the sprocket carrier with one bought from Road and Race
Reassembled over the weekend and everything went together perfectly.

(Magnesium) Campagnolo's ,about 30 years old, are strong as bubblegum....!!
No wonder you have clearances everywhere on them.....
