Title: rear drum brake housing?
Post by wolfsgrin on 09/03/14 at 19:25:06

What does the arm piece coming off the rear brake do? It slides over a tab on the swing arm?  Does this keep the drum brake housing from just spinning?  I hardtailed my frame and I believe the rear end is significantly wider and just welding a long tab on there wouldn't look very aesthitic.

Yes,... it stops it from just spinning...
Without it.... you have a hub spinner, instead of a rear brake... (not really,.. it's just a mess... lever pulls, brake grabs, hub rotates, brake doesn't grab)... you just have no brake...
Might as well not connect the cable...

Not that I use the rear brake that much,.. but it's nice to have...
