NICHE BRAKE SHOE
What is a Brake Shoe?
- Brake shoes carry the brake lining inside brake drum systems. They are a curved piece of metal, with a friction material fixed to one side.
- When the brake is applied, a wheel cylinder in the drum brake system forces the brake shoe outward, against the inside of the drum.
Differences Between Brake Shoes & Brake Pads
- Positioning - Being positioned differently in their braking system, Brake pads are placed inside a caliper which surrounds the brake disc and brake shoes are placed inside the brake drum.
- Wear- Brake shoes typically last much longer than brake pads, Usually they take a much lower proportion of the braking work
Brake Shoe Safety
Why do Brake Shoes Fail?
- Normal wear & tear caused by friction
- Contamination of brake shoe friction material. This happens when an axle seal leaks gear oil into the drum area.
Symptoms of Brake Shoe Failure?
- Dark friction areas
- Burnt odor
- Loud squeaking or grinding noises

Had to modify heavily to make usable, not an out of the box fit for my 08 Yamaha V Star Classic. Save yourself the time and buy a better shoe elsewhere.

Just like any other aftermarket parts I order from amazon, i thoroughly read through the comments to see how it fit other customers bikes. every review was good and no one had any problems. Brakes were shipped fast and after i took the rear wheel off and popped the new shoes on, the pads came out way too far to be able to fit back into the drum. even after grinding them down a bit with a grinder i was able to get them into the drum but way too tight. YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR! Of course amazon refunded me and i was able to order a better set just wanted to leave an honest review for the next customer.

Just got them on today, so far seems pretty good but still got to adjust them a tad. But so far happy with them.
