East Texas, 1/2 dallas/la.

I took the edge of a grinder disk to the shoes & made 4 or 5 grooved across the shoes, decreasing the contact area by somewhere around 1/3 or a bit more. I tapered the leading edge of each area a bit. I like the rear brake a lot better now. It will lock up, but I can feel the pressure on my ankle, whereas before, I couldnt even feel the pedal press against the sole of my boot. I like to keep the pedal high, very little play before the shoes hit the drum.
This way, if a mod isnt good, the hub isnt screwed. just the shoes.
