Marchesini Cush Rubber Options?

The Type 2 Marchesini I've been running for about a year. Flawless and perfect!

 

Okay thanks!

 

Timm tried reaching you a few ways, need to order a set for customer. Please let me know via pm or email Thanks much!

any update? im in need for a set or two

 

Sent an email to Timm - no reply.

Very happy with the type IIs he sent. I just got an old set of three spoke mags and would like to replace the Type I rubbers ...

 

Does anyone know if he is still making and selling these? Picking up a set of BSTs and would love to have a set of Timm's Cush Drives.

 

Anyone know if Timm or anyone can source this style cush drive for Marchesini wheels?

 

Back from the dead!

Does anyone know if he is still making and selling these? I need some for a Marvic wheel.

 

As far as I know, no. My emails to him go un-returned.

Not sure if you need the same ones I did, but I created this thread and found what I needed.

 

What ever happened to these?

 

See the post I made above yours. That is your answer

thanks tom but i was looking to show this to a customer, i borrowed his wheels to make a sprocket carrier and upon yanking it i saw they were shot.

 

Back from the dead.

I recently bought a set of OEM cush drive bushings for a Marchesini M7R aluminum wheels (part number 4240) and I randomly thought to find a company that can make these since they are trash and there's no aftermarket option.

I contacted a company in Texas, Precision Urethane & Machine, and just so happened to get connected to a guy who rides an RC51. He told me if I sent in a bushing, they could definitely make it in polyurethane.

However…

…the mold would cost over $1,000 to make and he estimated the bushing to cost no less than $10 per unit. The price per unit isn't bad. OE replacement is $18 I think.

I'm sure they would be able to make the $1,000 back over a short period of time.

He also mentioned that they have an in-house machinist that can make the metal sleeve inside the bushing also.

Who's got 1,000 bucks?

Those are rubber.

 

Is there a US distributor? I am hunting cush drives for my RC rims and it seems they are out everywhere. Anyone have a reputable source? Thanks.
