It was never a particularly good brake . Set up well it was really only adequate.

Dunno which brake you're referring to, but the Triumph TLS (67-70 type) was one of the best drum brakes ever,and out-performed most of the discs of the time. Good looking too...

   Rex, Sorry, senior moment. Was thinking of the conical hub twin leader where one brake arm pulled againstthe other.
