What was the solution on the bobbin issue if there was one? I cleaned and freed mine up recently, but I haven't experienced any brake problems, it was a preventive maintentance thing. I have noticed though, with it sitting on the center stand, that you can turn the front wheel one direction and some of the bobbins can be rotated by hand, but it you turn the wheel the opposite direction they are tight and cannot be moved and other tight bobbins can be rotated. VERRRRRRY INTERRRESTING, as Sgt Schultz would say.
