So these cush rubbers are inexpensive, but their design just doesn't last very long, being my second time replacing them in the last 2 years.
The newer 3rd gen hub looks eerily too much like the 1st gen hub I had on my F4, for MV to call this an improvement, rather than admitting it fixed their own mistakes.
But the cost of getting the "new" hub isn't worth the price for me.
$550 vs. $25 set of rubbers once a year...
Note:
The rubbers are MV specific, having their logo stamped on them.
I properly torqued the flange nut last time (200nm), but you can see it came off effortlessly. My only guess is as the rubbers crush laterally, the torque acts less on the flange. Maybe re-torque after 250 miles is in order? Will try and find out...
