My rear brake shoes need to be replaced, and I was hoping someone that has had a Roketa Bermuda and could tell me what size of shoes I need to order so I don't have to pull the wheel off first. Thanks.

are you certain they need to be replaced? mine where squeaking and i assumed they needed to be replaced. ordered new brake shoes and when i got the tire off the brakes weren't worn much. used some brake cleaner and wiped it dry. put it back together with the old pads... no more squeak.
brake dust can cause your brakes to squeak.

I have the rear adjusting nut almost as far back as you can go. I figured since I was going to replace my tire it would be a good time. I have over 12,000 miles on her and the shoes are original.

Mine also,,
I recommend taking a little 400 grit sand paper to the drum also,,and lightly scuff the brake pad material that gets baked/glazed on to the drum off.After doing that it stops much better and don't squeal anymore either.But if your adjuster is ALL the way in,, that's an indicator that its time for new shoes.
