Thanks Greg. I planned on taking it off eventually, but I've
spent so much time with this bike apart recently I keep putting
it off...

| Hi Ted, I'd start off by checking two things: 1. The large nut toward the front of the rear brake plate. Make certain that it is tight. 2. The brake lever toward the rear of the rear brake plate. Make sure it is secured snugly to it's splines. In either case, I'd pull the rear wheel and have a quick look at the brake drum innards just to be sure everything is as it should be. I suppose one of the springs could be broken and causing havock, too. I really see this as being interal to the brake drum itself (and its associated parts) rather than in any linkage connected to it. |
