Title: CB Roto Hubs, handbrake/ e brake issues? Post by: Deanodynosaurs on August 30, 2011, 10:06:22 am Hi all,
I've fitted some CB roto hubs on the rear of my 58, and i'm having some issues. I've tried to adjust the handbrake up at the nuts on the handle, but even though the mechanism at the back works (the cable pulls and spring compresses) the pads dont bite on the disk? ??? However, I havent actually fill and bleed the system yet. Just wondered if the anyone knew if the handbrake is haudralic too? Or is there something wrong with the kit? I've included a photo if a rear brake caliper in case it helps. (http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k228/deanodynosaurs/Misc/Rearbrakes.jpg) Cheers as ever in advance.

Handbrake is mechanical but since you never used the main brakes, brake pads and pistons are not in correct working position. Fill it up, bleed it, press the pedal few times and it should work
