Hi all,

I have an issue with the rear brakes, when you wind them on the brake shoes and their brackets are hitting the spokes, has anyone else had an issue like this?

Thanks, Chris

yes, I had this problem on one side, I ended up planeing the brake block to make it slightly thinner and filed a small amount off the D shaped retaining collar. Also spent a bit of time filing around the spindle of the brake shoe holder to get the shoe on further. all tiny bits of adjustment. Ita a close though!
