Having trouble staying at bp b.c. my rear brakes are crappy.....they still role wen fully engaged....still alot of pads leff.......tried moving around the lever and all......any tips im getting pissed......thanks

 

Scuff up the brake shoes with sand paper to get the glaze off . Maybe run light sand paper on the inner drum surface too , a little .

 

Try taking the brake arm off the brake panel and position it back one tooth or two .

 

i tried that its as far as it can be before the cable cnt reach it........il try that sand paper.....i already scuffed up the inner drum to take off the powder coating.........wen brakes engaged the shoes open up only about 3/4 the way......if i move the arm back the cable will not reach it.

 

Have u tried that brake pad mod???? I dunno how big of a difference it makes b/c i did mine before i ever rode it but here is the link if u havent!

i took my back wheel off to check out the brake mod and my brakes suck now there all the way down still i move forward.hope you dont mind me hoping on this thread.any answers?

 

Are you talking about when you grab your hand brake ? What do you have ?

 

To give you an idea on where the brake arm should be positioned. This is a pic of mine off my 50, and from this position i can lock the rear wheel up completely. Dunno whats going on with yours, but figured i would try to help....=-)

 

my rear brake lever is all the way down and my brakes arnt grabbing and they worked fine b4 i took my wheel off

 

same here they were working just fine until i took my wheel off.....

 

Wow u all got some **** messed up or something! Take some pics of the drum, brakes taken apart. Then put it back together and on the bike and take some more pics. Maybe we can help out more if we see it!
