[QUOTE="Simon Dinsdale, post: 1899, member: 58"] [b]Tuning Front Brakes[/b] Trev, I was wondered about the shoes "bending" before Trev mentioned it, because when stationary and applying the front brake the brake arms appear to move a bit after the brake is fully applied. This is when the spongness is felt at the handlebar. This was on brakes where the lining was turned to fit the drum when originally fitted. Now I cannot remember if the extra brake arm movement happened when the brakes were new 10000 miles ago, but they do now. Anybody know if the linings are wearing unevenly or if the shoes are just too weak or is something else going on? Have you found a cure to your bending shoes Trev? Cheers Simon. [/QUOTE]
