My #LawnTractor lost brakes today. Turns out the splines of the brake rotor are worn out, so the rotor can rotate on the shaft almost freely. Hence brakes not working.

I cut a piece of aluminium from a soda can as a shim between the brake rotor and the shaft. Seems to be working as a temporary solution until I get a spare part.

@saukki
it is better to have defective brakes on your lawnmower than on your velomobile.
