Brake balance valve was created by helijohn
After the fun and games I had at the MoT I am considering making this gizmo more purposeful. When one or two of us sat in the back the rear brakes got to be nicely efficient. The rear seats do weigh something, possibly as much as a child, so with them out the rear end is running lighter. Now I know we don't want the back brakes coming on hard and fast when the rear end is light but having seen the numbers on the dyno I would say at the moment it is like having no real rear brakes. Roughly the front brakes pulled about 220 on the indicator while the rear ones did about 60 but that went up dramatically with one or two persons in the back. As it seems that the rear brakes are really not man enough for anything other than the Noddy wheels I am wondering if a little alteration in the tension on the spring is called for. It won't need much.

I thought that might be it. I am trying to work out if the spring needs to be a mm longer or shorter.supergaz wrote: Thought id ask as this often is forgotten when lifts are done.
