Hi all,
I have hub-brakes on my two front wheels (Windcheetah!) and one of
them has developed an annoying habit of snatching. If I brake fairly
gently, both wheels will slow down equally and I'll come to a smooth
stop. If I brake harder, one wheel will lock up completely, which then
tries to spin the trike. This behaviour is worse in damp weather. If I
loosen the faulty brake I can stop it from snatching, but then its so
loose that under gentle braking it does nothing. I can't see any
obvious damage to the braking surface inside the hub, but the edges of
the brake shoes look ragged - not squared off as on the good brake.
Any ideas how I can cure this?
thanks,
dan.
