150 sprint fitting Brake shoes !!!!

[android]

Hi

Havent been on here for a while - wondered if anyone can help

have repalced the front brake shoes , put the Hub baack on, although when i spin it round there does seem to be friction - im thinking thats just the new shoes being thicker ?

The real weird one is the actual operating cam arm, i only have to move it forward a few Millimetres and the hub is fully locked - there just doesn't seem to be any real movement to allow me to setup the cable.

before i could just push the arm forward - pull on the cable and tighten.

?

just need to sort this for the MOT


HELP

i think that once you set up the cable and ride for a few km, and use the brake , youll see the pads will rapidly wear into place and arm movement will increase fast. then you'll maybe have to readjust lever again.

if the friction is unnoticeable, meaning if you turn the wheel, it doesn't stop immediately, its ok.
