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.

What's the best cargo bike setup? Here is your chance to Weigh In at Cargo Bike Roll Call. Come feel the differences and test them for yourself.

We're going to test the practical, technical aspects of hauling cargo by various bike models and styles. We'll conduct impromptu Braking, Loading and Steering test using various loads and measuring the results.
