Fun in the snow
"I bought two of these for my son's go-cart. The spot welds on the loops just do not hold up. Now I do have to mention that adults also use this go-cart and it seems to be the added force on the braking that pops the welds. I ended up drilling holes and setting screws in where the spot welds would be."

DONT BUY THIS,

By Nelsenfrom McDonough,GA
"I put this on my go kart along with a new drum and i hit the brakes the first time and it stopped well. the second time i hit the brakes, the rubber part flew off. Do not buy these brake bands, or the same thing will happen to you. I work on go karts all of the time, and i own four, so i know what im doing. It was installed properly, and it still broke. DONT BUY THIS!!"

4 inch band brake,
July 15, 2007
By Nelsonfrom ny
"I purchaced band brake as a replacement on a worn brake for my son's go kart . I installed it the same way the original one was on the unit . I then pushed the brake pedal to test it and the band came apart at the eye holes . I looked at it closely and noticed the two tiny spot welds came apart . Good thing I was testing it up on jack stands , or my son would have not been able to stop at all .I think the quality of the part is real poor and should be inspected for top quality considering its a brake part !"

"The padding on the brake was rubber and my son wore through it within 3 hours of riding! I would not recommend purchasing this product."
