ER5 Drum Brake Problem and The workshop to the rescue

[Tommy]

Just wanted to say, I've only been here a short while, cool place.

However last week saw my ER5 develop a problem with the rear drum brake (which, tbh, wasn't the best in the world). Friday saw it seize completely when I was investigating the rubbing noise.

Anyway, short version, popped on to BCF, "ER5 drum brake" into the searchymathinggy and Vi-o-la This thread pops up.

Thought I'd have a go, found the cam bolt had just about packed itself solid with crap and gunk. Good clean out, lube, back together. Did exactly what it said on the tin.

So my thanks to not only those in that thread, but everyone who posts in this section and helps out those less fortunate than themselves ... like me
