Center cup joint for D4 WCE slipper

[j pearce]

Hi, I was wondering if anyone knows how long the different types of centre cup joint last as I only have a second hand one which has a massive notch in it. The standard one:

or the light weight one:

Cheers.

The hb cups are pretty good and last well. Watch out for the uber lightweight ones as they are very weak. Mine blew in one meeting! The standard lightweight wce slipper is very good and lasted for a year with no problems.

You will need blades, but these mean longer life for the cups (as long as you change them before they break.)

Get the 3Racing ones as the hb ones are 1/ rare and 2/ extortionate

Chers for the advice, What do you mean by blades?

Blades are little plastic things that clip over the dog bone part of the drive shaft as the slots on the light weight outdrives are wider, the blades take up the slack, although, like Ben said, if they break without you knowing, the outdrive is toast very quickly

I see. Cheers for the advice.
