First signs of Disk style brake designs started way back in the 1890's... was in "mass production for vehicles" in the mid 1950's by Citroen... so why is it we still have them sh***y Drum Brakes on things in 2016 I ask you 
I really don't like working on Drum Brakes is all... Like I said... I would save the $$ and get the Storm with real brakes, if you like to work on Drum Brakes, by all means pay more for the Brozz/Shark with the super sweet Digit Dash  |
We could start a thread on drum versus disk but here's a few thoughts;
They have about three times the surface area of pads and thus last a lot longer.
No fading or warping when it gets hot.
They are mostly waterproof so you don't loose braking in the wet.
Easily adjusted.
All machanical linkage. No bleeding, no fuss.
No disrespect intended but some like rear disks because they look cool and think they are more modern but for the speeds we run (like SANY said) they are not needed and shoes are carefree.
