Has there been any tech improvements on clunky brakes (2019)?
Rim and disc brakes are mainstream in the West and disc brakes are the most researched from what I've been learning.
However, there are parts of the world where things like band brakes are (still) quite the mainstream.
Has there been any new development/ improvement when it comes to the 'clunky tech' of drum/coaster/band brakes in the year 2019?
