After 4 long months of waiting. I receive my Fontana 210mm 2ls magnesium drum brake.
The Fontana is replacing the Yamaha TD/TZ rear brake that was installed on my Seeley.
Like my Fontana 250mm 4ls drum brake, the rear Fontana is working beautifully.
Progressive and powerfull; it matches the front brake perfecly!
Forget the stories about blocking the weel's with Fontana's, if you use modern tyres with
modern compounds, it should never be happening (at least I hope so!)
The next step will be to change the rim and the spokes, becouse the rim I received with the brake
was not really made for a 210mm drum; its spokes are slightly bent.
In the far future I wish to change my TTI 5 speed gearbox for a 6 speed TTI... I know thereis no objective reason to do that, but it's my pleasure!
So long
Yves
