Posted:Saturday 21 May, 2011 3:39 PM Subject: Rear Brake Adjustment Problem I can?t get the adjustment right for the rear brake. The brake bites when I push the brake arm forward with the rod and spring off. So I know it bites.But it has to be pushed really far forward before it bites, certainly a lot farther than the normal assembly would take it. When I hook the rod and spring up, no matter how I position the brake arm or tighten the adjuster nut, I can?t get the brake to bite. What am I missing? Thanks. |

I believe they are gone and you cant use the brake with pedal anymore. Otherwise check the status of the brake arm that may slip on the main rod under use. Let me know. Augusto. |
