drum brake and contact?
Thursday, June 10, 2010 8:29 AM
Are the rear drum brakes and shoes suppose to have some resistance or does the wheel need to spin freely no touching of shoes completely?

my mech says it needs to touch a bit and allow for the wheel to spin freely one turn with a spin of the hand. but i though it should spin for ever till gravity stops it etc.?

They should juuuuuuuuust barely drag.



Paying someone to install parts and bragging about it being fast, is like watching someone bang your wife and being proud to raise their kids.

The closer they are without dragging the better. Helps them grab harder and faster when stopping.
