Ken,Walt has some cart brakes on his Piet. He used the mechanical drum brakes, andI've seen guys use the mechanical disk brakes too.He says they work well on asphalt, but they're not overly agressive, which he likes.Based on his last email to me, he sounds very happy with them.If I ever have to add brakes, i'd go that route and build the drum into the hubassembly so the brakes could be INSIDE the wheel.Douwe________________________________________________________________________________
