Hey guys,

My back brakes are pretty weak at the moment, they have done this in a matter of only a few weeks ago when they felt really responsive and now they are pretty much non existent. kind of feels like they are wearing down or something. How do you change the back brakes on a 1962 vbb vespa?

thanks

try adjusting the cable before you replace the whole brake. It might have just come loose.

pull off the back hub and check out how much of the shoe is left.
