I use Sturmey Archer 70mm drum brakes exclusively on all the cargo bikes, trikes and quads that I build.
I also use them on Husky dog racing rigs, pony training carts, pedal racing cars, the other pedal power vehicles, and sail carts I build. I now spec them as an option on the trailers I make including the single wheel trailers, but with exception of the new lightweight folding trailers I will bring to the market in the very near future; these will be unbraked.
I have never had a single issue let alone a problem with Sturmey Archer enclosed drum brakes.
