[QUOTE="Fred W, post: 1383887, member: 3828"] My semi educated guess is that these needles just allow the cush drive to rotate (slightly). If/when they became crusty and totally seized up one might never even notice it. :unsure: That doesn't mean that it wouldn't be a slightly smoother drive line with the designed cushioning. Might be worth investigating next time I have my rear wheel off. [/QUOTE]
