Yes I have Worksman F&R drum brake wheels on my Whizzer M/B
I bought the wheels 16 years ago and put almost 39,000 miles on em.
I highly recommend them

The brake shoes seem to last forever and get better with use.
I suggest using Worksman cables or M/C cables Thin bike cables seem to flex and don't work as well. Use brake hand levers with a good pull distance as Drum brakes need more cable pull than rim brakes.

Buy your wheels at the same time and save on shipping.
Because if ya buy one wheel or two wheels shipping will be the same price.
