Try Balance BeadsHaving major problems trying to balance these wheels!!!
Try Balance Beads
Got them done now we tricked the bloke into doing them for £15 for cash. And he was not happy after spinning up the first on the balance machine and reading 190g!! But we said he has to do the job now they have started.
Ref **** brakes 109.
If the brake pedal is rock hard and high when the rear flexi hose is clamped then you have 2 possible issues.
1. Air in the system at the back axle.
2. Poorly adjusted rear brakes.
Solution is to jack up both rear wheels and then use the brake adjusters (snail cams) to lock both shoes solid and do that both sides.
Now try the pedal without the clamp.
If the pedal is hard now then it is simply an adjustment issues. Simply re adjust the brakes properly.
If the pedal is still long/soft then it is a air in the system issue.
If the brakes refuse to bleed properly then you should strip down the brakes and check the rear wheel cylinders for brake fuid leaks. if they are leaking it is likely they are drawing air in as well as letting fluid out.
but those are your two basic issues.
Are they like bum beads?

Fantastic fun, it can be as easy or as hard as you want it to be. Who else fancies coming along?

It's really good fun, you do need a passenger with you to spot and do the punches. There's never a dull moment, full on all the time.Really tempted!!!
