In a drum brake, which friction components act against the drum to brake?

Correct answer

The brake shoes.

The brake shoes, whose friction material acts against the inside surface of the drum. Shoes should not be called completely immobile: they move when the brake is applied, although they do not rotate with the wheel. Brake pads belong to disc brakes.
