This article is about drum brakes. For suggestions on better and less good brake technologies for different kinds of bikes (kids, casual, touring, tandems, mountain bikes, road-racing, etc.) start with the main article about brakes. Also see the section about brake levers in the article about direct-pull brakes and the article on cables. | |||

A drum brake is a hand-lever-operated hub brake with brake shoes that press against the inside of a cylindrical drum. Drum brakes were once the most common type for motor vehicles, though disc brakes are now more common. Drum brakes are popular on utility bicycles in countries with wet weather; much less so for recreational and racing use, where rim brakes predominate and disc brakes are becoming more popular. | A drum brake is a hand-lever-operated hub brake with brake shoes that press against the inside of a cylindrical drum.
