good morning.
I just posted on the commuter board about saving my existing frame by getting a set of wheels with drum/roller brakes.
My LBS mech said he rode drum brakes for 8 years all 4 seasons and only recently switched to disks.
He had sturmy archer but said he did not know how well the shimano roller brakes were?
he would like me to use Sturmy but he also does not like to use free wheels he said good quality free wheels are not availible anymore so were kind of at a loss at the moment.
what drum brake options are availible(front and back) , I have to do front/back or it wont work on my bike.
many thanks
