Fixing Thudbuster LT – sourcing the elastomer by MrTrick Bicycling Bike Bike Repair Biking Cycling Repair
MrTrick on October 7, 2024 9:54 am I love my thudbuster, but one of the elastomer elements has finally cracked. The current “G4” series uses a completely different shape, and every local bike supplier seems to be out of stock of the ‘medium’ size that I need. Has anyone encountered this before? Any idea where to get replacements, even from a 3rd party? (Italy or EU) I’m tempted to try 3D-printing or casting replacements myself, but that is a whole rabbit-hole worth of yak shaving.
