Re: rear disk brakes
 
I believe you are comparing power assist discs and unassisted drum
brakes. If you want to stop use drums, like the eighteen wheel
commercial trucks. Like, simply compare the square inches of braking
area.

Re: rear disk brakes
 
No I wasn't. However, with drums, they hotter they get, the bigger they
get and the more travel they require; with disks the hotter they get, the
closer they get. As for 18 wheeler trucks; they are tiny compared to
trains,
which use discs.

Re: rear disk brakes
 
The disc brake advantage is they dissipate heat, something a
trucker knows how to avoid. I surely wouldn't use a train as an example.
