Nothing wrong with cable operation, it's reversing rotation of operating cam when lever is pointing up instead of down
i believe the main reason brake cam arms are positioned is for application of overall design.my sl350 pulls over the axle as opposed to cb/cl which pull under
clearance for a rut on a trail is a good reason not to have it running low..
of course right now we are discussing a sls brake one trailing one leading shoe
most of these that i have seen have the cam centered in the contact pads of the shoes which brings an interesting aspect in the deal..
one shoe i THINK has very slightly more travel....
depending upon direction of rotation the cam lever is either for or against zee spinning wheel,trailing or leading shoe can get this difference in travel/leverage depending on the configuration
What goes up, must come down
spinning wheel... got to go round
Talking about your troubles it's a crying sin
Ride a painted pony 8)
Let the spinning wheel spinnnnnnnn
butt-eye digress
the only exception was yamahas highly touted one year only(1980) YZ sls front brake with offset cam,i think what they were doing was give the trailing shoe even more travel as it was already on the outer cam surface
but i am not sure exactly maybe it was just a different cam,maybe the leading shoe was given mo travel i dunno
of course as everybody knows next year yamaha went 2ls on their yz racing production bikes,as did the other oems that wanted to go fast and sell mx'ers
