Not stoping

[george747]

Finally bit the bullet and had my rear hub lining skimd,as not safe
Relying on the front disc!,gonna buy some new shoes,has anyone got any good used asbestos type as I was told there the ones to use or get boxer jock type,as there a bit pricey and read mixed results.thanks

Scootopia do good ones. I always think bedding in a drum brake properly is the answer to most of the problems. I only ever use mine gently initially and I've never had a duff rear brake.

The Jockeys Boxenstop rear shoe set up was AFAIK meant as a “fix” for the dodgy brake posts position on Indian casings. If you aren’t using Indian casing then I stick to standard shoes

So when it was skimmed how far out was it, and what hub is it ?

[george747]

The man told me 15 thou out,the hub stamped innocent inside,just fed up wasting my time trying to stop!!!,the block is stamped sx200,just gonna put it away till next year!

Hi,anybody Midlands that has a brake shoe skimming tool that would sort my rear shoes out.thanks

There's a difference between getting your hub skimmed and getting your shoes skimmed.

I found that new shoes were crap until they bedded, then they were surprisingly useable.

I always use cheap Makita brake shoes and they've worked alright and I get a good brake.
