toolucky Posted January 28, 2009 Report Posted January 28, 2009 just purchased a shee with a new gforce axle and the sprocket hub and brake hub have a little front to back play. its not a lot of play but there is some. Is this normal or are they supposed to not have any movement at all? Quote
locogato11283 Posted January 28, 2009 Report Posted January 28, 2009 sounds like the splines on your hubs are worn some. did you notice it with your old axle? Quote
toolucky Posted January 28, 2009 Author Report Posted January 28, 2009 sounds like the splines on your hubs are worn some. did you notice it with your old axle? well i bought the bike with the axle already installed. so i dont really know what the old axle was like. But is a little play OK or am i needing to look into buying all new hubs. I really dont want to mess up this new axle. By the way the Bike has a 421 cheetah PV motor and i drag for fun on Pavement alot so are these hubs gonna blow quicker or should i just keep an eye on them Quote
Dinner Posted January 28, 2009 Report Posted January 28, 2009 Drag racing on pavement will be pretty hard on the splines, specially being as they are already getting worn out. I would keep an eye on them and see if they start to get worse the more you ride. Mine have had play in them since I bought it (about 4 years ago probably) and sometimes I'm not exactly easy on the rear end either, however I don't run a lot of pavement...JMO Quote
locogato11283 Posted January 29, 2009 Report Posted January 29, 2009 how much play are we talking? Quote
toolucky Posted January 29, 2009 Author Report Posted January 29, 2009 how much play are we talking? 1/16 of an inch or less. and i saw lastnight that one of the wheel hubs has play also Quote
