[QUOTE="Matty, post: 125939, member: 1339"] I do not have an update on the new shoes because I had my front shoes relined with green woven material by Saftek for round about £50 the four.. They have now done around 200 miles and function much better than any of the other sets I have fitted in the last few years The pivots in my old shoes are quite worn, but I think this allows some "float" and the cam to push the shoe along into better contact with the drum. I have also cut off about 25% of the cam end of each trailing lining to increase the leverage and allow for the higher wear rates of the leading shoes. The more purist mechanical engineers may think my approach too pragmatic, but it has worked very well for my use of the bike and was simple to do. Even so I would be interested in any constructive comments. Matty [/QUOTE]
