Find a brake reliner who will "arc" your shoes to properly fit the drum.
He will need the front wheel. Only a few places will do it. Used to be
more common. Metal Friction Linings in Seattle used to do it. Might
still. I was told once to put my shoes in, do a couple panic stops, pull
the out the shoes, look at the wear pattern, rasp off the high spots,
put em back in, repeat until wear is fairly even over the whole shoe.
Royal pain. I have found that just breaking the glaze on the shoes and
drum, as well as careful adjustment improve performance for awhile.
Never seems to last for too long.

Double leading shoe Eldo does not stop as well as I would like. Any
ideas
on finding a softer shoe compound? How about set up tricks? I have
briefly
heard mention of scribing the "Radius" of the shoe, but not sure what
that
means.
Thanks,
David Szenasy
