Now we were going as planned and infact before schedule we were pushing bikes to limit

As we didnt wanted the Jimny guys to wait longer for us in Muzaffarabad. But badluck strucked. The assembly which stopps the rear brake drum from rotating inside drum got loosed (Courtesy of self claimed ustaad's during trip) it was mistake at my end too for not checking the assembly

So resultantly the whole assembly collapsed resulting in bike's tyre fully jammed and rear brake gone for good

And all happened with this view

I cleared the connecting rod and removed all the stuff keeping brake in place and rove 12km's to reach Ath Muqam to look Mechanic

Rear Break condition

Even though i had two pairs of rear brake shoes at home i i didnt carried any with me, the level of stupidity (H)

The shopkeeper even doesnt have one, so had to go from Ath Muqam till Islamabad without rear brake

Sadly the whole part which is resonsible for retracting the brake back to position got f8cked so had to put deluxe one the whole juggar costed 500rs and we spent like 45mins extra

You will have to cross 4 army units while going to Taobat from Muzaffarbad. Most of them check your cnic and do entry at register

Sadly didnt had DSLR or bridge camera

That bridge right down there is what connects indian held Kashmir. You can clearly see the white line on bridge which seperate both countries
