Well, that (adjusting the shoes) made a difference. I think I'm going to try a little more adjustment though. The pedal just doesn't feel as good as on my '51. ('course I know it has better brakes) I'm just refering to pedal travel. I also noticed it seemed to "pulsate" a little at the pedal when I dove it, almost like a warped disc rotor does. Could that be a drum out of round or something like that?
