    Oi I'm older than you (or about the same) HTH = hope this helps

    Re the drum - just take the adjustor nut off to remove, you much have too. To put back on, just pull the lever attached to he drum as far forward as possible and put the nut back on the rod. Do the nut up as tight as you can with your fingers till the brake is draging then back of a half or full turn. Piece of cake.

    Have I got the right answer this time?

    [QUOTE=Drum brakes are where it's at! How did topo do?[/QUOTE]


    From memory, i got 41st overall, out of 53 riders. 5 out of 8 lap were all 23min laps with on a few sec past 24min, so i may be slow but at least im consistant.

    I'll get onto the person in charge of the results next week as i'm currently registered in the over 300cc 4st class but the drz is actually elligable for the under 300 class due to being old,slow and heavy.

    Should have a new gasket kit next week so i'll be able to put the bike back together after blowing the head gasket during the XC and finishing it off by swimming in the wairoa gorge the day after.
    Can't wait for round 3!!!!

    Classic MX at Tadmor on Sunday.
    Or
    Laidback at Borlase Forest on Sunday.

    If you get lost getting to Borlase Forest you'll end up at the Classics
