That is the same brake I have on the front of my grocery cruiser bike with drum brakes and I feel it is the bare minimum I would like brake wise. I run drums because my only choices on that bike are drums, long reach caliper brakes or spend a lot of money on having things modified. If I were starting with a fresh platform of my design I would choose to go with either v-brakes or a disc or possibly a setup that has a primary v-brakes with a drum for extreme braking.
