How many are having trouble keeping their rear drums adjusted?

No mountainous downhills here + DWB = never even been close to brake fade.

Your buddy should have been using a lower gear.

I've read about simple steps to improve cooling to drums... not that I've ever needed to do those mods. That is the "issue" with drums: heat rejection not as good as disks especially stock.
