As far as drum brakes and drag goes, according to Expert Village on youtube you are supposed to set it so the brake shoes drag against the drum just enough so that you get one full revolution when spinning it as hard as you can. I have mine set like that right now, but it might be better to loosen them up just a hair, so that there is less rolling resistance. But I think Expert village would say that that is very naughty.
