Hi All, Out for a ride with Lee the Ural Guru today. Down to Blairgowrie and back. Got to Blairgowrie (almost) funny noise with bike. Made it to carpark at Yacht Squadron. Sounded like rear wheel noise. On inspection, lots of metal dust on the rear hub. Drum very hot. Decided to pull rear wheel off. ANOTHER broken shoe spring. That's 3 since I bought the bike from Popcorn Dave. Always the bottom spring. Had spares with me. On Lee's advice, I put the new spring and the unbroken spring to the back of the shoes. This is NOT where all the photos and videos show the springs. There are raised ribs on the drum, appears that these contact the spring and cause it to break to pieces. On the rear of shoes, they are facing the back plate. Will see how that goes and hope no more problems.
Rear brake was fine on way home. Just needed a little more adjustment, pedal was too low.
Any comments or has anyone had this issue.
Appreciate any feedback.
