This week my brakes arrived so I spent all of this week primarily working on the brakes for the shopping cart. The brakes specifically are C brakes for the front bike part of my shopping cart. Assembling the brakes was pretty easy but the mounting part was a bit more complicated because the old brake mounts got in the way so I had to saw them off. Once sawed off they fit perfectly on but the brakes didn't work, fantastically.
The brakes needed some adjusting because at first the brakes would barely stop the shopping cart. After spending a couple days adjusting the brakes and doing indoor and outdoor testing the brakes seem to be working much better now. The brakes also just needed to be broken in because they were brand new. Next week I hopefully will be able to get the bike finally mounted on to the shopping cart.
