jon v8 Posted June 23, 2015 Report Share Posted June 23, 2015 I use the grooved Bantam / Cub shoes from Mick Ash,(RIgid Ajay,Rickman hubs) they will also go in my Ariel,(Alan Whittton hubs) when it goes together. On my last Ariel it had a Leader front hub and I got Villiers services to reline them.They were good even when wet,only gave up when they,(And me) nearly drowned at the Talmag in 2014.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moleman Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 Www.classicbrakeservice.com Ian campbell Relines your old shoes to whatever size you want Tell him its for a trials bike and he will fit linings That actually work , and work when wet... (In my experience ) He rides a classic trials bike and knows exactly what you need\want To get the best possible brake : 1: Skim\True brake drum. Then mount oversize relined brakes on lathe and turn to fit Or 2: not easy to get drum skimmed but anyone with access to a lathe can turn oversize linings to fit (may have to relieve lip on drum with file or die grinder\dremel ) Or 3: measure the internal dia of drum then tell ian the size and he can make oversize to fit After that it's where do you stop ! You can get rid of ovality in pivot bush, strengthen and extend bush and mounting, alter length of arm ....... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
