Re: drum brake ?
When we got the 70 goin it had all new brakes and a really soft pedal and the pedal went half way down to the floor even after bleeding the piss out of them. But after getting some more miles on everything the pedal is nice and firm and back to where it should be.

Re: drum brake ?
Have you tried adjusting them? With the drums if they are too far out of adj the pedal will be low.
