Re: Auto Test action from Sligo at the weekend.
When was the last time you adjusted the shoes on the back ?
Or the cable for that matter ?
It's an easy job and one that should be done every 3000 miles.

Check your handbrake quadrants and make sure they are free, then check the state of the levers in the rear hub.

What always amazes me is how they remember the sequence to complete the route.
