When I got home I set to work on the R50. I removed the front wheel and inspected the brake shoes (they'll need relining real soon.) I put the wheel back on and adjusted the brakes per these instructions and after a quick check in the driveway I took it out for a short test ride. While the front brakes are still pretty lackluster at least now they work. One of my next jobs will be to reline the pads with modern material which is said to greatly improve braking power. Tomorrow I'm going to ride it to work. :)
