Anybody ever use a set of CA95 brakes from Thailand? I got a set thinking I was going to save some money - IIRC Ohio Cycle said they wanted $20 PER caliper - $80 in all. But you know how That goes....
I got the new brakes today, and they're very nice, but there's too much 'brake' on the shoes - they don't want to fit into the CA95 brake housing...or am I doing something wrong installing them?
They LOOK like they should fit, but they are about one/two millimeters too big to fit...and even if I Did get them in, I don't think the wheel would turn...is there a way to 'shave them down', or ...??? Or are they supposed to be a tight fit?
Thailand brakes?

The 'proper way' is to assemble the brake plate in a lathe and turn th eshoes so that they ar eperfectly circular and fit in the drum. Not so easy in the home workshop but you might find a friendly machinist...  There is a company near me who willre-line shoes for aound $7 each and they put a little too much material on....
