I noticed my mirage drive is rocking back and forth in the drive well. Is there any way to adjust it? The click and go hex nuts are tight. It is like you need about 1/8 of material forward or aft to stop it. |

Doesn't matter, you need a tolerance to prevent it being forced down by click and go clamps or even worse not allowing them to close proper. When you pedal than drive is pushed forward and stays there. All drives will have some sort of slack. |

I wrapped duct tape around the rear post till I reached a clearance I was comfortable with. Mine had a lot of movement. Experience has taught me that if you have something hard moving against something soft you eventually have heartache. |

There's going to be a tiny bit of play in the drive when seated in the click and go, but there shouldn't be much...try popping your drive out and reinserting. Also, sometimes the click and go clamps need a little manual help closing properly around the drum shaft?? |

It is like you need about 1/8 of material forward or aft to stop it. As noted here... not an issue to be concerned about with just 1/8" rock. It is critical that the drive locks into the click and go as mentioned by "WAVERIDER". The boats vary and we designed in some rocker fore and aft. You can add a little tape to the rear of the spine, but it does rest forward when pedaling. |

Thanks Guys. I cut a small piece of closed cell foam form floor mat material. It fixed the problem |
