Brakes : Disc or Drums?

[kiper]

sa off-roading which is better?

ano na rin ung purpose (sa malamang preno) at differences nila..?

salamas po.

[woodfire]

DISCS - no questions about it in terms of breaking power. in fact, the best ang 4-disc set up (f/r).

[Ungas]

Syemrpe disc brakes!

[pajerokid]

Without a doubt DISCs!!!

[ghosthunter]

discs give better control

[mbt]

the main advantage of disc brakes is that they can shed heat much faster than drum brakes, and so are far more resistant to brake fade caused when the brake components are saturated with heat.

although drum rear brakes are largely adequate for typical use (whether on a car or a truck; since the lion's share of braking power rests on the front brakes), siguro magagamit ang advantage ng rear discs in off-roading during steep descents where the brakes must be used on top of engine braking to control speed. but even then, rear drum brakes would still be adequate for the most part... mas mura kasi ang drum brakes kesa disc brakes kaya ginagawa pa rin yun

[OTEP]

Drum brakes are also less prone to eating mud since the shoes are protected by the drum itself. Siyempre when it comes to all out braking power mahirap talunin ang disc.

On Land Rovers and Patrols, the parking brakes are drum brakes built into the propeller shaft. On Pajeros, the parking brakes are drum brakes built-in to the rear discs.

mbt, OTEP,

ah ganun pala..

eh pano kung madumi ang brakes ano nangyayari?

thanks sa replies..

..labo nung unang apat na sumagot eh..:twisted:

[OTEP]

kiper,

Madalas umiingay lang naman kapag madumi. Pero siyempre nandiyan pa din ang possibility na masugatan ang rotor or caliper dahil nga exposed. Pero the chances of that happening is very rare.

[rsnald]

drum brakes madulas pag basa yung brake shoes. saka they tend to stick pag pinasok ng tubig yung loob ng drum. yung ang experience ko before with my Beetle na drum brakes pati front. kakatakot pag baha dahil halos mawala na brake ko.

di ba self-cleaning ang disc brakes? yung caliphers nya tends to wipe off dirt from the disc before it clamps on the disc. ang sira mo lang don kung may makasingit na dumi sa calipher.

[kimpOy]

imagine mo lang ito
river crossing tapos may incline

for sure after mong mag water fording wala ka ng brakes!!!
eh kung nabitin ka sa incline!
diretso ka all the way down kips

[ironarch]

Anybody try fitting the rear disc brakes of a gen II pajero to a gen I? Gen I Paj's use drums on the rear. Can this be done?

mbt, OTEP,

ah ganun pala..

WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY MALABO? BAKA IKAW ANG MALABO :evil:

[Skywalker]

Cool down Sir Woodfire.... pang lima ka naman eh :mrgreen:

All four disk brake is the superior setup. Mapapansin mo yan sa mga expensive vehicles.

[hagiber]

Yup, four discs are generally better. But not always.... Take the case of the new CRV. Discs all around yan but the Escape (which has drums at the rear) provides better braking according to some reviews. Moral of the story, you have to look at the complete package. Better brakes do not necessarily mean better braking

[OTEP]

Oo nga, bakit malabo? hehehe. :mrgreen:

[afrasay]

dvd pa rin ako...ooops wrong site. disc brake pa rin. may mga times durings those days na uso ang bonding. minsan tumirik ako akala ko may problema yon bearings yun pala nakalas yon pads sa metal plate sa rear tires ko.

pede sigurong ilagay yon rear disc ng genII sa genI. alam mo naman ang pinoy.

[OTEP]

afrasay,
Hehehe. 'Bonding' days? Bistado na naman edad mo. hehehe.

Sa bagay marami pa ring shops na ganyan ngayon.

naupo..sir woodfire peace po tayo.. :oops:

mayroon pa po kaing 2nd question dun na kasunod eh..

my apologies po.
