Hey all,
I was wondering if anyone has had their shoes relined before? By whom and
cost.
I received a new set of shoes for my 4-leading shoe Eldo and the shoes would
not fit into the drum. I thought about trying to take off some of the
friction material but too much would have to come off so I am looking at
relining the one side that has worn badly. The other side is in good shape.
I rode the White Eldo to work yesterday and the clutch worked fine when I
was heading out the drive. After 7 miles (of non clutch use) I could feel
the clutch starting to grab as I made the turn into the school. Weird.
So far the clutch is manageble and I will keep monitoring this over the next
little while. My hope is that they will smooth out over time. I doubt it but
since I am not planning to do anything to this bike until I get the Police
Eldo together I might as well ride her as long as she doesn't get too
unpredictable.
Ciao...Ian
