On any loop other than a V7, yes. This is the arm at the rear backing
plate.

I know you are Greg Field but this doesn't make sense.

As for the rear brake, check that the actuating arm points up, rather than down (it can be put on either way). I recently worked on an Eldo on which the arm was put on pointing down, and braking dramatically improved when I turned it around. Footpegs or boards? Boards use more cranks in the system, and it's vital that they are positioned for maximum mechanical advantage. The means that when the shoes contact the drum the linkage rods are pulling at 90 degrees to the arm. GF On Wednesday, June 1, 2005, at 07:27 AM, Ted Ward wrote:
