The difference between winning and losing can easily come down to something as simple as brakes. Many drum brakes are mushy with poor stopping power. Race Tech offers Brake Drum Turning and Brake Shoe Arcing to make drum brakes stop on a dime.
There are two parts to this; first we cut the drum so it's round and flat and then cut the shoes to the new drum diameter. The difference is quite often amazing and is a bigger deal than most riders realize. Rider's have been known to drop lap times by a few seconds just by arcing their brakes.
When Sening in your Wheel:
- Complete clean wheel (with or without tire – shipping without it is a lot cheaper).
- Wheel should be trued with spokes properly adjusted. (spokes can easily pull a drum egg shaped).
- Wheel should be clean inside and out.
- Axle must be straight. It is essential the axle is straight or it will cock the backing plate causing poor performance. We check it for straightness and we use it in the Arcing process as well.
- Complete clean and lubed Backing Plate.
- Good brake shoes (nothing oily or worn out).
