Good evening.
Over the past few years, there has been much discussion about Performance Machines wheels... such as the Chicane, and Cyclone. These wheels come in both race AND street weights.
One point that continually comes up, is the question of a cush drive. I have attached 2 images with this thread. The first pic shows a Chicane wheel, sprocket mounted, and a very nice specimen. The 2nd image shows a Cyclone in need of some TLC ... BUT notice the circular "cush" drive mounted in the centre.
Let me mention that the first picture (PM Chicane) was from a local seller in Ontario. When asked about the "cush" drive ... I was told that the Chicane was a race wheel, and that the cush is built into the hub - below where the sprocket is bolted to the wheel. I've seen PM wheels before, and although I do not pretend to be an expert ... I am somewhat skeptical.
Perhaps we can have someone shed a little light on PM wheels ... and this will be the "sticky" that binds us all together.
Looking forward to your responses. BTW - Pics of your PM wheels are most welcome!!
Cheers.
