Re: Drum stopping power

[Steve Stegmann <stegmann@domain.elided>]

Remember the non-linear response of self energizing brakes!  When the road
is wet that makes them treacherous.  It's not really about how powerful
the brakes are.  All of them can slide the tires.  

It about **control**.

And that's where the drums fail.  They are not as controllable and of
course the fade.
