[QUOTE="Chris Launders, post: 179175, member: 2010"] So I've had my front wheel with alloy brake plates out having the shoes relined, I have fitted them and had carefully re-assembled everything I thought, but when I tightened the front axle something was dragging, so after about twenty attempts taking the wheel out trying to finding the problem it turned out to be the bottom spring box bolts were sticking through just enough to press on the brake plates when the axle was tightened the last turn. Something to watch out for. As I could not be bothered taking the spring boxes off and shortening the bolts by this time I just fitted a large diameter 1mm thick washer between the brake plates and fork blade for the moment. I really needed a sit down and a cuppa after that. I will of course be shortening the spring box bolts another day, and removing the washers. Chris. [/QUOTE]
