FRONT BRAKE OVALITY |
|

|
My ex Yugo militare has had the usual hard life & the front |
|
wheel has been trued by some ham fisted squaddie with the effect |
|
of pulling the brake drum out of true. Initially I tried ridding |
|
the bike to see if the shoes was just rubbing a bit (like most |
|
Brit bikes do) but the handlebar lever was pulsing in & out |
|
quite dramatically. |
|
A new front hub would end up costing in excess of �200 from |
|
Italy so I have boxed the whole front wheel assembly off to |
|
Stotfold engineering in Biggleswade who are going to rebuild |
|
the wheel with a new rim, skim the drum & reline the shoes to |
|
suit. |
|
I will report back in a week or so's time with my findings. |

|
let them true the rim first , |
|
i have had the ovality of a brake drum disappearing after |
|
carefully trueing the rim |
|
if some ham fisted mechanic tried to get a bent rim straight by |
|
oulling the spokes , you can end up with a oval hub |
