Title: BSA 8" single sided front brake
Post by: rgsjohn on April 28, 2016, 02:02:55 PM
I first noticed this the other day, when I apply the brake, the brake plate flexes at the point where the operating arm spindle passess through the plate. I also noticed that as the brake cable pulls the arm up the spindle moves outwards by about a millimetre or so as it rotates. Is this normal? If it is not can anyone suggest a remedy? other than this the brak operates perfectly well.
