Are there any tricks for installing Cycle-istic brakestays?

Dobie looked at mine it is the bs2. I sent you a pm. Thanks.

Brandon you can move the rear brake drum without affecting the chain the drum moves separate from the chain just loosen the axle nut and tap the drum forward.

Jerry, yours will leave in the morning, you should get it Saturday or Monday.

You don't need to move the drum forward... It just needs to rotate slightly. That's the purpose of the rod... To prevent it from rotating. If you took the old one off with the brake actuator attached it likely pulled the system out of allignment, or the new rod is slightly shorter. Shouldn't make a difference as long as it's not a BIG difference (1mm isn't).

Loosen the axle nut and turn the drum to bring the tab closer to the front of the bike.

Much better explanation turn the drum thats what I meant it doesn't move forward it turns forward.
