TLS brake

does the '83-'84 TLS brake fit into my '81 hub or do i also need a '83-'84 hub? i have a hub like this:

Ok,thanks! Are the rims the same or do I need a newer style rim?

so there is no tls brake plate that will go into a 82 cr500 front wheel ?
will a tls from a 83 xc work or i lathe some off the outside ?

I thought that one (often called 1982 1/2) had the twin leading shoe to start with. At least the one I have came that way.

The twin leading shoe ones and the later disc ones seem to come with dated Nordisk rims while the prior don't. I can't say if the holes for the spokes are drilled the same. They are both conical hubs with 36 spokes though different.

I grabbed some new lining we tested on a brake dyno that they were tossing out before I retired after a test. I put some on a disc brake on a tractor. It works. Next ill epoxy some to the brake shoes. It's the green gripper at McMaster Carr. This lining took the highest stopping mass we tested. It was like over 12k on one set of pads. Then go x2 for twin calipers on the dyne.

Yes rims are the same cowboy, find a tls or dls complete hub assembly and spokes for this same hub and your all set. good luck on your up grade.

i recall all the 82.5 bikes ive seen had a sls factory . maybe it depends on build date or someone swapped it back in the 80s as it would have been easy to do .
ugh getting a hub and spokes sounds like a lot more work and postage $ to get to NZ

Hello Speedcowboy
you can put a 83 brake plate clear and finish so that they fit into a 82 hub.
You have to do this on a milling machine. You just have to mill off the 2 edges in a slight bevel and reduce a little bit the outer diameter..
You can see the modification here in the pics

Or you buy a new CNC milled TLS brake plate fitting for the 81 and 82 hub ...

if that sort of thing floats your boat .
sure doesnt me

Sorry silverstreak I can´t understand this idiom.
What to flood my boat ? Please write directly what you mean ( i am a older man and my school time was a long time ago,
where i had learned the english language. I am not a english native speaker ).

If it should mean that the brake plate not absolutely seals, then yes,
no brake plate seals absolutely (and it would be wrong to do so).

no nothing that serious . just an opinion that it is too shiny / looks out of place on a vintage bike / an original one would make me smile more than that one

Hi silverstreak,
many thanks for the explanation. Now I understand

Hi fred !
sorry for late answer, I was travelling and come back today.

The new 82 TLS front brake plate was not produced by me.
It´s produced by a Germen twinshock fan who have also a milling factory ( his name is Gerd )
You can it buy here : http://www.shop.twinshock-cnc.de/index.php?cPath=11

The next product from Gerd for the Huskys will be a clutch cover for aircooled and liquidcooled husky engines.
That the prototyp in producing ( some options in this picture are not maked, how oil control screw, vent, use sockets and seals for Kickstarter
and gear shaft ... that´s first pics on milling machine ).

I can't read German but I see three brake plates on the site you linked.
Will any of these work to make the rear brake (not cr) dual leading shoe? I am guessing 1982, 1983 in that area before they changed the way the backing plate matches to the hub. I seem to recall the brake plates for my 420 auto seemed the same front/rear.

Amazing these CNC !
Is Gerd an Husky fan ?
It is remind me another crazy Dutchman !
