(I think these brakes qualify as "on-topic" for this list. These brakes have been around for quite a while, haven't they?)

Does anyone have experience with an Arai drum brake? I know that some folks say you should use it only as a drag brake, hooked up to a ratcheting shift lever, but I want to set it up on a double-pull road brake lever I just got. Does that setup work? How much actual braking does the Arai drum add?

Any advice would be appreciated.

Yours,
