Default Old CG125E Rear Drum Problem...

Hey Guys,

I'm back with another conun-drum (pun intended!). The rear brake on my old CG125 goes through these temperamental phases of working and not working. Sometimes I push the pedal and it works fine, and sometimes I push it and there's nothing there, and then it suddenly clunks (loudly) into life and works fine from then on. It just seems to do it randomly along my journey, not very often, and it works fine again afterwards. It feels like something's sticking somewhere along the way but all my troubleshooting research has drawn a blank so far. Could it just need adjusting? I haven't done that since I got the bike but I'm aware I'll have to get stuck into it sometime...

Any Help Would Be Much Appreciated!

Cheers
