Changing rear brakes

Post by Brent »

Anyone changed their rear drum brakes, and are there any special tools needed to accomplish the job?

Because they are drums and the shoes will probably outlast the rest of the bike?

No special tools. Take the rear wheel off and there they are..

I agree I changed mine last season when I fitted winter tyres, took me a matter of minutes, they had 14000 miles on them and were hardly worn!

I put on Daytona shoes, those blue ones bought on the Webike. I really enjoyed the performance.
At front brakes I put SBS and inserts is flexible of brand Hel install, it was great ... Almost an ABS hehehe
