Look Ma, No Hands!
K. I've got a 1936 rear wheel with a Morrow hub. When I went to pedal it would slip, and had pretty bad braking.
I took it apart and didn't find anything obviously amiss.
I broke the brake shoe putting it back together but that's another matter.
Anyway what im wondering is, the shoe obviously expands against the drum. But it appears that you grease the whole thing thru the hole in the hub, but doesn't the grease then inhibit shoe to drum contact, so the brakes don't grab? Am I not seeing something?
So im in the market for a brake shoe, or better yet a whole wheel or at the least a hub.
Thanks
