Phil,

Thanks for the update.

I guess if I were to have anything fail in the coupling of the S&S crank to the Centa hub, having the hub spline go south would be my preference. Sacrificial part so to speak.

As you've asked, is this going to be a common thing? I'm wondering now with your firmer Centa pucks, is this creating the next in line failure, the spline hub adapter?

I do very much like the idea of the firmer pucks. But in the case of the Harley, people have removed their compensator and replace them with solid splined sprockets and the performance is better, but the bikes vibrated terribly. The other case is when they do a belt drive replacing the comp and chain setup. The front crank sprocket is solid, but the rubber belt tends to act as a shock/compensator and the bikes run fairly smooth without a comp.

When I get around to running a Centa, I'm sure I'll be in contact with you about the urethane pucks.

Keep us informed on your further durability testing.

Thanks and have a great day...
