Are disc brakes really safer than drum brakes? | Simplified 

This makes no sense to me. How does drum lose efficiency in rain? Drum brakes have brake shoes literally sealed inside the drum unaffected by rain. I've seen old disc brakes with thin rotors and worn out pads that lose efficiency in rain due to the water on the rotor almost acting like a lubricant. But never seen it on a drum

Braking system + Motorcycle Health/Tech + Tires + importantly the rider/driver skill. it takes it all

learn to use the disc. you dont want to put the effort you cant be a better rider. always look farther. keep eyes on road. its not a myth since you never put any effort learning the power of discs. if you use discs like you used the drums you will lock up. i happened to crash my Ntorq with injury to my underside of the left arm scratched up. took 2 months to fully heal. and i did the same complaining just like you are doing now. abs is good but it also acts as an AID than skill. you want to be skillful learn Progressive braking and only 1 finger squeeze. keep the pressure on before engaging the brake where you can feel the bite. practice that and then you can make 2 finger squeeze. never try 3 finger squeeze since that most likely is too much power to the master cylinder where you cant react fast enough to release the pressure hence the crash. Also most Important is the tyre. you re very unlikely to lock up the tyre on non gravel or sand road if you got fresh set of tyres. your 1 finger will be on its limit before you could lock up the tyre. worn out tyres, avoid the sudden brake at all cost. get skillful than complain. and same goes for the car brakes as well. progressive braking and always judging the reaction of whats happening on front.

@@kushal0105 Bro the vehicle was serviced on time, and everything was in mint condition.. Might have been my uncle's mistake also...

@@deepakmohapatra7416 Bro it might have also been my uncle's mistake.. There's another point to note that there was no ABS.. I don't know why he felt the brakes are too aggressive at first, but initially learnt to control now 👍

@@ducatimultistradav4850 Thank you for replying and Glad to know uncle is getting better in his skill. disc brakes especially on scooters are really dangerous becaue of those skinny tyres. scooters usually dont come with ABS units specially on these 125-150cc.The skill and practice is the last thing that saves you. when i changed my Ntorq brake disc to a non petal disc. with the same brake pad the bite became so good that for a microsecond i locked up my front tyre with 2 finger and then quickly released the pressure. it took a good amount of practice. else i could have slipped.

Cars use hydraulic drum brakes and 2 wheelers use mechanical ones

its the method of how you are actually transferring the force. low end cars do have parking brake that is Drum in the rear are cable operated hence its mechanical. you see hydraulic lines into that brake its hydraulic brake. in normal disc brakes even tho you use fluid to transfer power of your foot to calliper. your caliper extends and retracts which is more of a mechanical movement. replace the fluid with steel wire and spring you can achieve the same operation. Just for simplified answer if you have fluids to transfer load its hydraulic, and steel wires to do the same its mechanical. trucks use pneumatics that is air to drive their brakes, be it calliper-discs or drums, it is a pneumatic system.

I got a similar setup on my Linea but reverted to stock owning to some issues with the availability of good quality brake pads. But the discs are better overall.

How did you converted it? Through local garage owner

You really should install brakes in your car, not breaks.

It's called Simplified yet there's not much simplification for the layman.
