This part is a waste of money, the purples were way thinner than the old ones I pulled out, and causes the actuating arm to be pulled way further in than the stock shoes to actuate the brakes, and cause the lever to stick. The metal pad contacting the cam is also made of a softer inferior material, as it already has a much deeper wear scar from the cam lobe from a few lever pulls than the stock shoes that have 3000 miles, which seems to be further causing the brake lever and actuator cam to stick. Have tried high temp caliper grease, new brake cables and everything for 4+ days and cannot get the lever to feel right. Brake lever gets stuck mid pull and will not return to the original position. After taking the brakes out for 5 times tweaking the purples I gave up and threw the old stock shoes back on, and it was fixed. Nothing else was changed. The lever pull feels smooth, returns, and the actuating arm's biting point returned back out to a position without scraping the brake casing.
