Re: Rear brake woes
First of all, let me say how much I appreciate the folks who've taken the time to try to help me with my problem. But I'm still stumped. I tried turning the adjusting wedge back to make sure it wasn't caught on one of the ridges, but that didn't make any difference.
The space between the brake shoes and the edge of the backing plate is about 3/4 of an inch all the way around, so it appears that the shoes are centered. When the lever is pulled forward, the shoes are closer together (further retracted) than they are when the lever is positioned toward the rear (pointed the way it should go). The rollers are seated fully on the cam, not riding up on one of the ridges. I can't find anything else to figure out what's wrong.
Please let me know if you have any other suggestions.
