    Nothing new . . . they keep working and the rear tires look great. I am still running larger diameter front tires than the rear so I don't 'rotate.'

    I still prefer using the EZ-shims but haven't removed the rear hubs to see if any problems are developing. If the rear brake shoes ever wear out, I'll have them inspected at that time.
