Hey you all I'm new on the forum. I recently picked up a Worksman INB for $100. Every part original, and rusted, but structurally it's 100 percent. Just a little rat-rod patina, which suits me fine.
First question is about the front drum brake. Anybody have a good comparison in stopping power between a Worksman drum and a decent hydraulic mountain bike brake? I'm trying to decide whether to build with the original drum, or slap on a front suspension fork and hydro disc. This bike is going to weigh about 80 lbs and go 45 mph.
The drum right now is pretty shot, but I think if I adjust and replace the pads it should stop like new, right?
