Das 1x1 der Trommelbremsen: Unterschied zwischen den Versionen

One-sided mounting results in an unbalanced load on the front fork, potentially leading to handling issues. The load on the fork is heavy because the reaction arm takes up the torque from braking at a relatively short distance from the hub. However, a drum brake does not tend to pull the front hub out of the fork like a disc brake, because the backing plate and drum are both connected to the axle, Forces from the brake shoes and drum are equal and opposite at the axle and cancel each other out, so the reaction arm resists only torque. As mentioned, with a strong front drum brake, though, the torque may be enough to flex the fork, causing "brake steer" or even bending a fork blade.

 

It goes without saying that the cable to any front hub brake on a suspension fork must be run in housing, but the cable to a front hub brake with a rigid fork must also be run in housing, because flexing of the fork during braking can tighten an open cable and lock the brake.

Der Zug zur hinteren Bremse ais auch etwas lang geraten. Das bringt aber niemanden um.''

Older brake-shoe linings generally contain asbestos, which causes lung cancer. Avoid breathing the dust from these linings.

And, as mentioned, typical drum brakes do not dissipate heat well enough to avoid brake fade or vaporizing the grease in the hub bearings, if used for speed control on long downhills.
