Post by pk50 »

Just started to notice that when it gets hot the back brakes seem to stick the pedal returns all the way so it's not the cable . no problem when its cold. ideas ? before i pop off the hub .

No i pulled off the hub and the shoes looked good. They worked great till a few weeks ago, it only got bothersome at the poker run .

If the brake cam "pivot" bore is dirty or corroded, it could bind as the alloy backing plate heats up. Take it apart, clean it out carefully and lube it sparingly with a light grease (I have just the stuff: high end bike hub grease).
