Well tell me friends. Other than the rubber falling apart what would one notice when they get bad and need to be replaced? What are the signs of the part needing to be replaced without looking at them?


JUst grab the rear sprocket and try to rotate it, if it moves a lot, then just glue in some strips of innertube onto the dampers. done deal.
