[Ossa Mar rearbrake modification]

Thank you Woody I think to problems is I have to much travel of the brake plate arm before the pads engage. Pads are new there was padding on the round brake pivot on the inside of the plate I have just measured the dia of the hub braking surface and that is well within the manual tolerances. Is it normal to pad out to round pivot?

OK I have verified that my swing arm is still a mk 1. Would anyone know which cable I would need. I have the one with the nipples on both ends and adjuster in the middle. Would I need the one with the threaded rod at the end.

It looks like I have the cable for the wrong model. There is no threaded bar on the hub end. Im bike is mk1 but have mk2 swingarm

Thank all. I have a decompressor on there already and it is most useful in the dry. I find with the cable (vernhill) it is too long to adjust properly. I have new shoe's in there. Ispent last trying to bed them in using chalk and sand paper and they feel better. I did turn the idle down at Sunday's trail and that made a big difference. That big flywheel just pushes you forward on tick over if set to high. 

I was think of a C shaped lever a suggested but will take abit of head scratching to work that out if I go that way.

Thank you all for your input.

Hi I'm wondering if any has modified the rear brake on a Ossa Mar to remove the cable and convert into a direct link pull.

If so how is this done and does it improve the rear brake action at all. Many thanks
