[QUOTE="vibrac, post: 34837, member: 60"] I bought a Robinson twin twin leading shoe brake with my first Egli (EV16) from Roger Slater, I got to admit it looked great but it was was a cr*p brake ,when closely examined it was poorly finished and did not fit properly. Back in the mid 60's I was prety green ,I had no machine tools or contacts but I did the best I could. At a Bantam club meeting on the old Snetterton straight they had a speed trap she hit 132 mph, two weeks later I went back with a top fairing this time there was no speed trap but luckily a good gravel one at the end of the straight. It was that which finaly brought me to rest, still upright in a cloud of brake smoke. I got the lever to the bars, knackered the front and cracked the single rear brake drum. I gave the remains of the Robinson brake to Ron Kemp who lived down the road to see what he could do as I remember he never got them to work. I got a secondhand yamaha racing brake from a TD never worried again. [/QUOTE]
