Comstar brake shoes

<< < (4/5) > >>

So, turns out the 180x30 is the default shoe for the 550 anyway. Feel a bit daft having asked the question, but you live and learn.  :-\

The product number does seem to have changed from H-283 to H-316 for EBC brakes so wasn’t fully straight forward. I actually think the hub would accept a wider shoe but may as well go with what was previously fitted.

Anyway thanks for everyone’s input.

Never feel daft asking a question here especially when you have a non standard set up.

There is often something for others to learn or pick up on when asking such questions.

Bryanj:
If it fits a 550 it should be 500 twin and four as well, the number change is probably a friction material change. EBC may need the sides filing where the holes are to get the plate and split pins on

b_1_rd:
Well they turned up (a day late thanks to FedEx mis-sorting it) and they fit perfectly.

Would you guys grease the pivot points or leave it alone?

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Personally I would grease the pivot points sparingly - when the shoes are fitted I would wipe off any excess that is pushed out.
