iconic558 Posted May 13, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2017 Well it never stops with old bikes does it. My front brake cable is now too short by about an inch...been cut back in the past I guess? ....new shoes on the back plate 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

feetupfun Posted May 15, 2017 Report Share Posted May 15, 2017 I sometimes pack out the shoes at the pivot ends when the linings wear down a bit. On some bikes, it is easier to do that than packing out the camshaft ends. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
