    Carl, I think you missed a word there.

    MAXIMUM inflation pressure = 42 psi. However, if your bike is not loaded near the maximum allowable weight, you don't need the MAXIMUM inflation pressure.

    It's also important to note that "back in the day", the maximum pressure on the tires was about 36 psi. Today's tires need to go to 42 for their maximum load, so the 25 psi recommended in the manual might translate to about 30-32 psi for the same load.

          Back to the hub ("joint assembly") in the rear wheel.
          To inspect for wear, you really need to remove it from the wheel, especaily if you are not real familiar with the wear pattern. THe end of the spines that you see when it is still mounted in the wheel are not effected by the wear pattern.


          A worn "gold colored" '82, compared to a current replacement new one (although turned the other way).

          On the worn one, you can see the wear is not all the way across the spline, the unworn end is what you see when the hub is still in the wheel.

          Had 850G for 14 years. Now have GK since 2005.
