Rear wheel rotation stiffens up when tightening axle problem.
Bryanj:
Ted i think that was one of 3 i had relined by Paul in Huddersfield when he was doing them.
As far as i know he used cast iron pipe not brake drums and did do them to smallest size.
It was a long time ago so maybe a bit of corrosion, i would use a flap wheel in a drill to clean out the drum.
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Thanks Bryan - a few minutes ago I took out the brake hub- removed the shoes - put it back into the wheel - torqued it up rotated freely - so it's just a very close fit - as it was when I first rode the bike.
The Shoes look like the DS ones they are marked SOK 283 .
Bryan I have never had a flap wheel so how are they sized can you post or PM me a link as to the size & grade I need please?
I assume they will fit a normal drill.
Bryanj:
Go to ebay and search flap wheel, i would use a 2 inch 60 grit to clean the drum, having seen them you may get them localy to you, b&q do them
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Thanks Bryan.
Moorey:
Screwfix certainly do flap wheels
