Re: Anyone try this brake mod?

yes, i've done it and it does show an improvement in braking power, but just be carefull not to use in in place of replacing worn pads becasue if the edge of teh pad catches in the drum it will cause all sorts of parts to break .... my bike is currently down due to this reason... not the mod, but trying to adjust and get the last bit of use out of worn out shoes
