Do I need to replace my rear brakes?
06/27/18 at 18:52:13

How can I tell if I need to replace my rear brakes? They are are worn past the marker so I adjusted the cable. After I got them back in the marker range they were really stiff so I split the difference. To me, they seem like they need to be replace but I read on the forum that the s40 rear brake rarely needs to be replaced. Is that true?

I have removed the brake arm myself and can't be sure if I reinstalled it correctly. How can I check? Also, the last time I did that it would have been apprx 2 years ago and 3k miles ago or so and only over the past few weeks have the rear brakes started to feel 'thin'

Reply #5 - 06/28/18 at 20:10:12 I'd pull the rear wheel and look at the shoes .replace if they need it, grease the shaft and make sure the return spring and arm are in there proper place.
