Hi!

I have back pedal style breaks. They are very loose, and so it takes
a while to stop (have almost died many times because i couldn't stop
in time). Does anyone know how to tighten these breaks? I tried to
search the internet for a link on this, but to no avail.

Thanks for any help!

Have to overhaul the hub and replace the brake shoes. Could also be poor
bearing adjustment or improper assembly.

Cheers,

Scott..
