guys i m facing a problem from few days ... some days ago rear brake start making whistling noises when applied ....so i took it to hathora ustaad and he somehow managed to open the tire after hard work of 30 mins ... brake shoe was in perfect condition but he said there is some moisture etc and cleaned the brake shoe and drum with sand paper and then refitted the tire ..
it worked for 1 day ..next day again same whistles when brake applied and now its gone insane ... its acting like a disk brake when u apply even a little pressure it just jams the tire instantly with weird noise ... like a train brake .... i went to hathora ustaad again and now he says this is the common problem in deluxe 18" rim and he have to remove the tire and put some leather in the drum .. i was like wtf man...gtfo ..
so what can be the problem ..i suspect brake shoe quality could be an issue although it looked fine ...
one more thing, these are some really big a$$ brake shoes ..i looked for them in my area and the biggest i found was only gs150 ones and they were looking tiny toony infront of deluxe shoes ...
