Oh man, I had forgotten about that second one, that was hilarious.
A number of people who have owned drum brakes have posted about their issues with them from owning them. (Not that their aren't also other, different issues with other braking systems which I've also posted about). It's just my experience that if 25% of people say they're a real pain, another 25% of people claiming they're "easy" and using a lot of adjectives to describe them are usually wishful thinkers. I work in software, where I hear a lot of "that's easy" followed by 1 week of desperately trying to get something to work that's the exact opposite of easy. I've had people claim that taking off the exact IGH hub that I own is quick and easy and I gotta tell you - I've taken it off, and it's neither quick nor easy. (Which doesn't relate to drum brakes as mine does not have them).
