[QUOTE="BigBore, post: 257267, member: 16143"] I constantly had problems with drum brakes, mostly on my XR200. The 500 wasn't as bad, since I could rely more on the front disc, and that kinda took some load off the rear (even though the rear still had crummy stopping power). They would get hot/dirty/wet, glaze over and get grabby. It is not fun to have a grabby front brake on a long, steep pucker downhill. Yeah, I mostly use my front brake, but I use my rear break a whole lot too. I never really had to take apart the drum and clean it out, just had to get that glaze off the shoes so they would work normally. I'm not taking a shot at anybody's bike, but, there are zero advantages to drum brakes. How well a drum brake works for you depends on what you ride, where you ride, and how hard you ride I guess.
