Re: dropped 6 lug drum spindles

Since this question was asked again, I'll add to it...

Do you think the reason they aren't making a drop spindle for drum brakes is because most people would just upgrade to discs? Or is there some other reason it wouldn't be feasible?

Re: dropped 6 lug drum spindles

Too small of a market makes it cost prohibitive. The majority of folks want to upgrade to discs and there is enough difference in the two spindles to not make it worthwhile.

Just my guess ...
