Brake balance setting up
I saw something....somewhere.... here on CC not that long ago about how to set up the balance bar on the brakes.
I now can't find it :CRY: Anyone have advice on how to do the initial balance setup? Also, the criteria for further setting up with on-road testing? Cheers, Glen |
I can tell you about ERA, and there's a thread on Kirkhams, but maybe this will help more:

Here's how Tilton does it on one of their many brake assemblies. There are other instructions for other models.
https://tiltonracing.com/wp-content/...lance-Bars.pdf I do my final adjustment after the brakes are broken in. I find a safe place to do an emergency stop from about 30-35 MPH. My goal is to press the brakes hard enough to lock up which ever tires skid first. It can help to have an observer watch from the outside. The goal is to have the front tires skid just before the rears. So if the rears lock up first, adjust the bias to put more pressure to the front until they lock up first. If the fronts lock up first, adjust the bias to the rear until they lock up first. Then adjust the bias back to the front just so they lock up first. |
And this thread has pics of ERA's balance set up, which is really, really, really similar to Tommy's PDF from Tilton.

Preliminary setup done.
Thank you Patrick and Tommy Cheers :) Glen |
