    Hi Tenere owners whats the lates’t with the rear cush drive hub , ” two or one bearing” mod ?
    On my 2009 Ten I had an extra bearing fitted “no problems” with cracking within the hub . Im now about to have the modification carried out on my new Tenere . The idea of an extra bearing has it changed to maybe a one bearing extra wider to carry the load or should I just stick to the two bearing mod that didnt let me down. Any throughts??

    Congrats on the new Ten Choot! What colour did you get?

    As for the hub mods, I am convinced the twin row bearing is the go. The twin row bearing leaves more meat in the hub. That said the two bearing one wont crack the hub if you don’t flog it in or are careful pressing it (not like Nick’s former employee did on mine)

    Choice is yours mat, but it’s now the twin for me

    Yes I know your right . Ill stick to the two bearing set up as per my old Tenere .
    I picked up a new white Tenere . nothing said about a grey colour release , what would the year of manufacture be on the grey ? the white Tenere has 2012 stamped on it , that’s new off the shop floor.
