I was still looking after the Web filters at work when a director was searching for cleaning tips for an expensive parquet table top when after a party somebody had left a messy bowl of chocolate ice cream on it. His first search attempt was "messy ring", the results could be imagined... Quote

Just had to look this one up According to Wikipedia The sprung hub is remembered as one of the first motorcycle products to have a safety warning cast into its housing.[7] It is also remembered for inadequacy, being described as "a pain in the rear end"[1] and "one of the weirdest and worst rear suspension systems of all time."[ Apparently they were first used on the Gloster Gladiator ? Another mans take on it .... Although sprung hub Triumphs were a little before my time, I've heard chilling tales regarding the maintenance of these hubs and have posted a picture from the manual to show how they went together (err... or were abandoned in this state). At the heart of this frightening device were blocks of rubber held in place by wicked springs under compression which would have taken the weight of a main battle tank. I wonder how many owners on-sold their bike to some unwitting sucker rather than face rogue springs ricocheting round the shed destroying the contents and causing severe bodily harm. Looking at it in a dispassionate manner, I suspect that military scientists used the Triumph Sprung Hub as the basis for modern anti-personnel weapons like the Claymore. Quote
