[QUOTE="Ken Tidswell, post: 133530, member: 3355"] You are correct the sticktion only sets in when the seat stays move. I think you have an assembly problem with thePTFE. When you fit the friction liner you have to wedge the casting open to apply the tape to the surface so you can get the tape to stick and then fit the drums without disturbing the tape, I still think a polymeric ring is better than the tape,. i think this has been discussed before, anyway it would be interesting to try . i always stuck the friction material to the alloy with rapid setting araldite, wedged the casting open and squeezed in the drums and allowed it to harden.Doing things to Vincents is always an interesting exercise what ever you do. However most of my riding was done with a fully sprung rear end and Pettiford springs with a Koni damper , front and rear. [/QUOTE]
