Back Brakes Sliding?

paldred

Hi, My back brake is make a sort of rubbing noise, the sort of noise you make running your finger along plastic. Iv checked the pads are not rubbing against the tyre and i have fiddled around with everyhting, but it still makes this noise. Iv looked and one of the pads seems to slid?

Is this right? anybody know how to stop it? I alos have tightened everything up as well

Cheers

What sort of brake is it?

if the friction material is moving in the Shoe (V brakes) then the locating pin is missing. it needs to be there.

I hate adjusting the damned things almost as much as I hate.....

(nah, forget it, I am NOT going off on another rant tonight )
