[QUOTE="davidd, post: 177706, member: 1177"] The 90 degrees that I was speaking of is simply tracing how much of the 360-degree circle each shoe lining covers. That would have been a calculation that Vincent or Irving made. The cast in the dips prevents a brake reliner from covering the ends which could potentially degrade the braking. I would not discourage anyone from experimenting with this, but I think most folks want to do it for the increase in surface area, which doesn't work. I intend to use milled linings as the RD-4 linings are available in grooved versions. Dick Hunt in the UK suggested that he always used grooved lining on the racers. The lining tends to shed so much dust it is best to evacuate it. It will improve the performance as the lining will be warmer and it will not be riding on the small bits of lining that are being shed. If you want any of the sources I use for information, just send me a PM. David [/QUOTE]
