What is the acceptable stroke length regardless of chamber size?

Measure the distance between the chalk mark and the face of the brake chamber. The distance between the mark on the pushrod and the face of the brake chamber is called the free stroke (½ to ¾ of an inch — 12 to 20 mm is a good range). If this distance is more than ¾ of an inch (20 mm), the brakes need adjustment.
