I purchased the new longer band springs from Langs. I discovered that two of the springs are now wedged between the ear and the pedal shaft. These springs have less than 1000 miles. Check both the brake and low band spring in the picture. How can I keep this from happening again.

I use an SAE washer at the end of each spring. SAE washers have smaller o.d. than NC washers.

Those two bands sure look tight to me. Are those cotten bands?

Jack, bands are cotton and they are worn out. I nursed them trying to complete the Johnson City tour not wanting to change bands in the parking lot. The picture was shot when I was removing to replace with Kevlar.

Use original length springs for bands with thin linings.
