I knew you'd have the answer. Thank you.

Thanks for the info Loud Mouse.

I can pull the wheel(s) off later today I think.

I'm happy to finally be on track to sorting this out. I've had this bike for 5 or 6 years and the brakes have been very "touchy" since I've owned it. So much so that a mate locked up the rear on a sharp bend and the bike went out from under him. Both him and the bike were OK but I haven't used it since.

Have a good one
Scott

The front brake drum is 200mm.

I've run out of time to pull the rear wheel due to pesky kids.

Finally getting around to putting these new brake shoes on.

The shoes are marked with a different code. When I stack them on top of each other it looks like one of the linings starts a little earlier than the other one.

Is it important which shoe goes where.

Thanks for your time

If the diameter is the same use them.
Like a car I'd put the longer one to the rear. ...............lm

Thanks
I just put the wheel back on and the throw on the brake lever is much less as the old shoes had thinner worn out linings.

I'm not ready for a test ride just yet but I think this will be a lot better than before when the brakes would almost lock the front wheel if you were anything more than gentle when using them
