Adjusted up my rear brake before todays ride, turns out it really wasnt doing anything at all! So much more slow control now.

However, smells a bit now, its not rubbing as the wheel is free, not heatin up either.

Wondered if its just the extra use, possible the parts (shoe, drum, pads, disc i dunno - anyone?) were new too, I picked the bike up for a friend about 3 years ago after n mot prep n service and it didnt get ridden untill last month, and only today did the back brake see any real use. Works really good!

Have slackened it off another turn, see if it makes a difference tomorrow.

Yeh oj" I use a lot of back brake in wet or gravely roads, easier to control if she slides,,

Prob over tightened it, the extra turn backwards worked, not smelling today!

try bathing that gets rid of smelly odours.

Moved to the workshop.
