Front DRUM Brake Rim

[Sidewinder Jerry]

I thought about that as well. When I had high end scooters capable of 35-40 MPH they had drum brakes on some of them as well, my Solex had a drum on the back that worked great. I have hydro's on my mountain bike, go down a descent with a MTB with mechanical disc's, or rim v-brakes, and it will test your heart rate very quickly. Failures of the front wheel on our MB's seems the most catastrophic, going over the bars at any speed will be a bad outcome.

I used rim brakes for nearly 10 years on the LandRider. Pads, braking technique and road familiarity is a must when riding in mountainous regions and mixing in the speed factor.

The only thing that scares me is the low part of your exhaust system, how do you make hard right leans with that pipe so low without scraping the heck out of it???

I'm with you on this one Damien.
