Reno Bike Project Drum Brake Fix

Taking a quick lunch break after Dean Magnuson helped me figure out why my drum brake stopped working. The inner wire had developed a burr inside the housing that neither of us could see until we disconnected it from the brake lever. Loaded in a new/used cable with Dean’s help. Three dollars later, I paid the hourly workstand fee though I did the work off the bike’s kickstand, and was almost out the front door.

But not before I met Amy Kaplan, the Reno Bike Project logo artist. She was wearing the shirt you see here…

Ray the mechanic you see below also gave me some guidance on my drum brake, a new component to me..
