I have a bag of 15 Final Drive O-Rings (5 Sets of 3) from Carolina Bike and Trike.
Their website is under construction, so figured I would ask here...

Does anybody here know for sure whether these o-rings are Viton?

Thanks!

I can tell you that the sets they sold me work in the environment  they are subjected to (moly paste, moly grease, restricted space etc.) without any stretching or loosing of their body and firmness,, what ever their composition is.  I've been using them for many miles.
The most expensive things you will purchase, are those things you would not have needed if you had listened and obeyed.

Not viton.  Redeye sells a viton set.

Redeye sells a polyurethane set, only ones I use. they last much longer than OEM Buna-N or Viton. Viton is basically OEM with a higher temp rating.
