f.burns 0 Posted January 6, 2022 Gday. Rear brakes have stopped working on my trx350. Have installed new cables (foot and hand) and new shoes in the drum. both foot and hand cable are set up and tensioned , and stop the wheels when it’s jacked up on blocks. when i put on the ground and ride it , the lever for hand brake cable is still firm aswell as the foot cable , but nothing happens when i press the lever. Front brakes work for a day after i bleed them but air must leak into system . have replaced lines but nothing changed. anyone had similar experiences? cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
