Well, had an 8 mile round trip today, which resulted in loss of foot brake and left turn... I pulled the drum off to find there was not much left on one of the pads.. The inside wall of the drum has two patches of pitting from where the brakes had previously stuck to the drums which I fear has prematurely killed off the pads (they are original ones mind) so I need to get some new pads made... All be it they will go the same way as the previous set until I can think about how to machine the hub and put a new ring in.
On a positive note I can remove links etc on my tracks toot sweet ! And can do a hub off hub on in good time too !
