Hello Mike - 

CA>> I've had brake springs fly off in many directions with a
CA>> great deal of force. It would be a mistake to not wear
CA>> safety glasses or goggles while doing a brake job IMO. 

MR> I wonder why they still use drum brakes in the rear
MR> wheeltrain when disk brakes are so much simpler and
MR> effective. Okay they fade more when wet or hot but not that
MR> much. It can't be cost alone, by now the cost of either
MR> system is about the same expense. 

Good question, I don't know the answer. :-) 

MR> BTW I wrote a long reply to your original message but lost
MR> it in the ether. There is some odd bug in my editor that
MR> when I hit an as yet unidentified magic sequence of keys,
MR> turns the whole message into complete garbage. Seems like
MR> the message buffer memory gets overwritten. It is a rare
MR> key combination nearby the question mark, I think. I can't
MR> recreate the problem. It happened once years ago and again
MR> this afternoon. So it is pretty rare and hard to reproduce.
MR> At least when brakes go bad you know where you stand, text
MR> into garbage on the other hand is impossible to recover. 

ROT13 switch? 

MR> Hey, this is almost the same feeling as bakes going bad
MR> too! ;-) 

Well, sort of but not really.
