Hi All
Another '55 Huntmaster question. (Sorry been posting loads of newbie questions)
Just wondering what the general consensus in the club is on these 7" cast iron HWH brakes.
Do people tend to 'Upgrade' them to something else?
I've given mine an initial adjustment.
Rear doesn't seem to do much at all - Also necessitates actively stepping on the rear brake pedal rather than pivoiting the foot on the foot peg.
Front brake gently slows the bike down and that is all.
Are their any improvement that can be made whilst keeping these brakes?
e.g. increasing actuating lever at drum side (Clutching at straws)
I suspect if I am to take this bike any distance the front wheel/ & brake may need to be replaced - perhaps with an 8" BSA SLS or similar.
But this may also mean the forks may need to be swapped too?
Perhaps I simple need to change my riding style to a gentle & unhurried?
Any counselling on this welcome.
