Hi
The parking brake is too weak on my bird. The ordinary brakes are good. I have trying to tighten the brake cables at the equalizer rod to remove all slack. The problem is that if I have adjusted the equalizer so the brake shoes are not against the drum the equalizer lever goes to its stop before the brake is fully engaged. I think it’s a very short distance for the cable (behind the equalizer lever) between a fully released parking brake handle and fully engaged brakes. Maybe new brake shoes (thicker) are the solution? Any hints would be greatly appreciated.
