"Hiya, I would never profess to be an expert, but I've always glued them so that the rear is set up for traction and the front for braking. so tread 'scoops' facing forwards at rear and opposite at the front. Of course, you can turn…"

"Steve, The easy way to find out is to contact the relevant council highways dept / footpaths officer. Let us know the verdict (bearing in mind it may be a local interpretation of the regs!!)"

Do I need to notify under the cycle racing on the highways act?The track is about 5m wide…See More

Steve Smales replied to John Gould's discussion Brakes - hlp please
"I'd be surprised if there's anything wrong with the brakes themselves. Often getting your cables to sit well in the ferrules and eliminating flex in the hangers is the big barrier. Make sure the outer cable ends are cut square. Perhaps…"
