ROD brakes are or ever were brakes?? LOL hahahahahahahahaha
I'm not going anywhere without my PERFECT SA drum brakes now.
My tour bike before the Rohloff14 had both drum hubs. Maiden ride I went 45.5 mph. >>>
I was first to advocate for the drum brake in post #4 so some respect is due.
But don’t knock the respectable rod brake. The brake of choice from the adoption of the safety bike through to the end of WW2 in Europe. Still available to this day in China a billion or so produced who are we to judge.
