Re: Keeping Pedal pressure with under-cab MC

If your drum brakes aren't set up properly, your pedal will travel a farther distance to get the shoes to contact the drum. They need to be adjusted manually and regularly unless they have the auto adjusters which many don't have.

Bleeding the brakes can be a bit tricky if you don't know exactly what you're doing. If you are not 100% sure, then have them bled professionally.

My stock MC and drum set up has a very firm pedal and very efficient stopping ability. The system was designed correctly and is very reliable and effective when working as designed.
