The problem with it is that the floater sits on a bearing right on the axel. the problem with this is that the bearing starts to get play and it only gets worse and worse and can even cause some scoring into the axel. The reason it gets worse it becuase it is constantly under torsional forces when you apply the break and it only has one mount which causes it to rotate and on the axel and only further damage the bearing. _________________ WENTWORTH CYCLING FIRE MOUNTAIN fo life OUR Sponsors; Evil/E-thirteen, Thomson, SunRingle/Sun Rims, SIC,SDG "When i think of going riding i have to shit, kinda reminds me of a lil dog who gets so excited it just shits everywhere" Posted: Sun Feb 19, 2006 11:18 pm rodrigodh Toy   Joined: Oct 03, 2005 Posts: 5 thats right, those brake forces are huge , even more when you ride for a lot of hours. Maybe the best thing to do is save a little, get a 150mm rear hub and re-lace your wheel, forget about the floater, the kumicho doesn't need it anyway.

It really is the only way to eliminate the problem. The olny way to avoid the problem somewhat for now is to tighten the piss outa ur axel bolts to ensure that the bearing cant move side to side. it was what i did until i built up my 150 rear hub and it work quite fine , when it was said and done i almost wished i had waited a little to build a new wheel. _________________ WENTWORTH CYCLING FIRE MOUNTAIN fo life OUR Sponsors; Evil/E-thirteen, Thomson, SunRingle/Sun Rims, SIC,SDG "When i think of going riding i have to shit, kinda reminds me of a lil dog who gets so excited it just shits everywhere"
