Round Hub

Who makes decent hubs.

Front or rear?

Front or rear?

Good point.
Rear, my desire for a effective rear brake is becoming an obsession.

[ToBoldlyGo]

I always think the key is bedding the brakes in properly. I never use new pads harshly, just let them rub lightly and come to a halt slowly. Easier said than done, I know. But my back brake is a stopper and I can lock the hub up.

Suppose it's got to be a new hub really. The chance of getting a decent original are probably hit and miss. The Scootopia hub is said to be very good, but I think they're sold out. Otherwise you're probably looking at something like a Uni hub.

If you want good brakes the shoes are as important as the hub. When I fitted my engine Jarv @ Lambretta Rehab used a tool that look like a hub that shaves the shoes down to true level so there are no high or low spots. The rear brakes are brilliant.

Scootopia are good or as Jim says get your shoes skimmed, AF and many other reputable dealers offer this service.
