Can anyone advise?
The XT I'm cleaning up seems to have pretty much the same drive system as my SR. It looks like the hub that the rear sprocket bolts to is actually a cush drive setup. Is this correct?
There is a dust cover about 3 inches in diameter in the centre of this. Behind the dust cover is a retaining circlip. behind the circlip is a ring with 6 holes in it.
I assumed that this was a threaded device and that the 6 holes were for unscrewing it, but when I started turning it, it revolved lots without actually screwing out. Is it just a ring held in by the circlip with no threads involved?
In the end I just revolved it back the other way about the number of turns I used in trying to wind it out, than put the circlip back in.
There is a grease nipple, when I pumped it with grease, grease came out of two of the holes in the ring. Does this all sound normal?
Mick.
