Question

which of the following is not a disadvantage of disc brakes when compared to drum brakes?
select one:
○ a. rotors warp more easily than drums.
○ b. disc brakes are prone to make noise.
○ c. disc brake pads wear out faster than shoes.
○ d. disc brakes fade more quickly during long/hard braking.

Explanation:

Disc brakes have better heat dissipation compared to drum brakes. This means that disc brakes do not fade as quickly during long/hard braking. Fade is a reduction in braking power due to heat build - up. Drum brakes are more prone to fade because the heat is trapped inside the drum.

Answer:

d. Disc brakes fade more quickly during long/hard braking.
