A bit of a cushy number - 'Workshop Session' February 10th 2024

 A bit of a cushy number!:


Catching up with Jon, Guy and Mal having a good session on the Honda C50.

They'd taken the front wheel out, 
cleaned the front brakes and put it back together.
They then moved on to the back wheel.
A really nice bit of engineering from Honda is that when you take the back wheel off - you don't have to take the chain and sprocket off. Brilliant!

Another nice bit of engineering is the Cush drive.  "A cush drive wheel has a separate drive hub that interlocks with rubber dampers between interlocking fingers. The sprocket is bolted to the outer drive hub or “cush drive”. Those rubber dampers soak up energy that is produced when a shock load occurs from hard acceleration or braking"
