Rear Brake Cam Question
Posted: Sat Apr 17, 2010 4:04 pm
Hi,
I’m about to fit the rear brake cam, and have some questions.
Take a look at the pic below
17 – rear brake shim
16 – rear brake cam
15 – o ring
14 – rear brake lever
13 – circlip

Does the rear brake shim slide on the cam first, then push rear cam through the casing?
Or
Push rear cam through casing, fit ‘o ring’, then rear shim, rear lever and circlip ?
I am leaning towards fitting with a shim and sliding rear cam through casing so that the shim is on the hub side, but this would mean there is only an o ring the other end before the rear brake lever goes on.
The front brake cam has an internal and external shim, why not the back ?
Cheers
