why would that be better

discs have much better stopping power and the preformance doesnt really fade on discs drums are to squishy =p

its impossible, one the drum brake is in the gear casing with all the gears thats y we have that bulge on the swing arm is not only for the drum and second were are u gonna mount the brake theres no space on the right side and u will haveto cut slots in the axel to hold the disk in place but iwish we had disk brake i hate drum brakes

Drum brakes wear out very fast, because water and sand etc... get inside them and wear them out.
