June 23, 201511 yr Author No it's for my 1960 bsa c15 trying to find out what's the best brake shoes or which other riders prefer .
June 23, 201511 yr I use the grooved Bantam / Cub shoes from Mick Ash,(RIgid Ajay,Rickman hubs) they will also go in my Ariel,(Alan Whittton hubs) when it goes together. On my last Ariel it had a Leader front hub and I got Villiers services to reline them.They were good even when wet,only gave up when they,(And me) nearly drowned at the Talmag in 2014....
June 24, 201511 yr Saftek @ Cleckheaton Yorks green gripper material is excellent, they offer a relining service.
June 25, 201511 yr Www.classicbrakeservice.com Ian campbell Relines your old shoes to whatever size you want Tell him its for a trials bike and he will fit linings That actually work , and work when wet... (In my experience ) He rides a classic trials bike and knows exactly what you need\want To get the best possible brake : 1: Skim\True brake drum. Then mount oversize relined brakes on lathe and turn to fit Or 2: not easy to get drum skimmed but anyone with access to a lathe can turn oversize linings to fit (may have to relieve lip on drum with file or die grinder\dremel ) Or 3: measure the internal dia of drum then tell ian the size and he can make oversize to fit After that it's where do you stop ! You can get rid of ovality in pivot bush, strengthen and extend bush and mounting, alter length of arm .......
