Drum brake with Schwinn Typhoon fork?

[hamqqea]

A question for the masses...

Is putting a drum brake on the front of a Schwinn Typhoon a recipie for disaster, or is the fork sturdy enough to take it?

The pessimist in me envisions a shuddering front end under braking, but I'm no expert on this stuff.

The fork in question:

Greetings,

I have experience with modern front and rear drums. The front won't cause a sudden endo or anything. It behaves much like a very good rim brake setup. Even braking consistency in all weather is what I like about drums mostly. Low noise as well. I rarely use them on performance rides due to the heavier weight.

Too much????

Not at all. . . just one?

One other option is the band brake. Only works rolling forward and is weak at that. You'll need a rear brake.

I have them front and rear here.

Took me a second but I knew I had a sweet build in the file somewhere
