But does that make them better of worse? The DSS horseshoe is surely an improvement over OE.

The improved horseshoe still uses the same cushions for the 2 blades. They're stiff rubber but still have some 'give'.

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
The DS one will still need the cushion I think.
I like the look of the upgraded version even though it might carbon up eventually.

Laverda Dave:
It's actually made by TT400 a member on here. It is uneconomical for him to sell direct due to postage costs (he's in SA). They are far superior to the original horseshoe imo.

Eldrick:
I don't think I will be splitting the crank case. Is that the only way to replace the rubber, presuming of course I need to replace it?

Laverda Dave:
No, but it is the only way to replace the tensioner horseshoe.
