Hi guys, you really are early birds’ I’m 78 I wish I had the energy of you both. Thanks for all the videos. I have a 1960 BSA Golden Flash that I bought in several baskets, it is taking me ages to rebuild. Watching you two does give me hope that I will finish it. Regards Ed.
Front brake on 68-70 models was the best, they called the later brakes the "Comical" hub brakes for a reason, though I hear if you set them up right and use longer arms they work ok.
Hi Guys,I noticed at 2.59 that the rear brake shoe lever has no spring tension when disconnected from the linkage.This is not correct and may result in a dragging or slow release of that brake shoe.I think that you are referring to the conical hub front brake which was inferior to the 69/70 unit as there was a reduction in the swept area of the shoes ( some 15% I believe ), levers that were too short and individual / difficult to access internal snail cam adjusters.Cheers, Russ.😀

Front wheel/brake is from 1969/70 model BSA or Triumph.
The TLS front Brake came out on Triumph in 1968.
@@RobsRidesPA Correct, but not with the bell crank update.

Thanks. I will check out the spring tension.
Spitfire is definitely more desirable than a Thunderbolt. Weird thing to do.
