I wonder why they still use drum brakes in the rear wheeltrain when
disk brakes are so much simpler and effective. Okay they fade more
when wet or hot but not that much. It can't be cost alone, by now the
cost of either system is about the same expense.

BTW I wrote a long reply to your original message but lost it in the
ether. There is some odd bug in my editor that when I hit an as yet
unidentified magic sequence of keys, turns the whole message into
complete garbage. Seems like the message buffer memory gets
overwritten. It is a rare key combination nearby the question mark, I
think. I can't recreate the problem. It happened once years ago and
again this afternoon. So it is pretty rare and hard to reproduce.
At least when brakes go bad you know where you stand, text into
garbage on the other hand is impossible to recover. Hey, this is
almost the same feeling as bakes going bad too!  ;-)
