Default Re: Brake Buddy Adjustment

Oooooo, smores. Haven't had one in a long time. Now ya got me to thinkin.


But I still like a good ole wooden brake board. Gotta build the campfire with something else.


So, i don't know about Steve's problem. Doesn't make sense to me, so i guess I don't understand quite what he is saying.

I guess I adjust them differently. Make sure the vehicle is raised on the axles, not the frame. Make sure the arms are in correct position. [ about 15º]
Adjust the wedges to get the wheels to spin the way you want [very slight drag in a couple spots]. Adjust the rods with the board/pedal position to get the drag you want for pedal position. Wherever the pedal position is, the wheels on either side [ not front to rear] should have the same drag and I adjust the rods [not wedges] to get that.
