Back Brake ?

[JackDaniels]

hi there guys,
on my way home today the back brake on my yamaha jog stopped working completly
any ideas

[Gone]

Use the front brake instead?

Your back wheel has clearly fallen off...

Giz a clue.

So. You pull the lever, it moves as normal but the bike doesn't slow down? Or the lever is stuck solid? Or the lever has gone slack? Or you try to brake and there is a horrible noise and you don't slow down?

Lever? Back brake? Is this a pushbike? I have no idea of the model in question.

my dad thought that, but the guy at the mot centre said that the centre stand is bent and thats all pic looks funny as it was taken with a fish eye lens rides and handles fine just the back brake stopped working

Does it need a back brake? They don't do a lot even on proper bikes.

[JackDaniels]

i dunno really, i can still stop with out it, its just with the bike on the stand i rev it a bit so the wheel starts spinning and the brake dosent even stop the wheel :S

Well. Number 1 suspect would be that the brake shoes/pads are worn out.

Are you sure its not in need of adjustment?

How far does the lever pull back to? A mate of mine thought the brake was shite but the lever went all the way in and he thought that was normal!
