Is the wheel locked when cable and lever are connected?
I’m asking this because both mine show about the same distance between cable and lever when disconnected. When connected it still needs a couple of turns at the handlebar adjuster to get the right adjustment.
Hi Morris.
I skimmed the drum, then I re-lined the shoes. The shoes were Ferodo, but made for a triumph. Could be a little thicker, I don't know because I have no BSA shoes to compare with.
With this combination and the reproduction cable my brake is locked tight with zero adjustment left.
I will build something to make this work. I paid extra because the cable was UK made.
