26 Inch Front Drum Brake and wheel

[dsitterson]

I have been looking around fro a front drum brake...I saw one for 79.00 on Workman...does that sound right...any other suggestions ?

the Sturmey Archer X-FD is a nice alloy drum brake hub. I've used several of them. looks like they retail for about $70-$80 online nowadays.

don't know about the worksman hub. but being from worksman i'll go out on a limb and guess it's steel, heavy, old fashioned, and doesn't work very well... :mrgreen:

I am looking for the whole wheel with the brake..I have never built on myself and figure the cost involved it may be cheaper to get the whole wheel with the brake....
