Thanks everyone for the responses! I guess it is a matter of training myself...I am a heavy braker...and I am having nightmares about the drums not stopping me. I have disks on my daily driver and am very used to them stopping me on a dime. I guess it makes sense to make sure they are properly maintained, try them, then decide. But are they hard to depress compared to the power assist drums? How much difference is there in that respect? Anyone ever upgrade their manual drums to power assist drums?
BTW Tom I hope you gave them a piece of your mind!
