guys, will the brake dust collected in the drum brake cause the brake
mechanism to be noisy? recently i've just changed a new pair of break
shoes. they performed well on the first day, but after that, the noise
starts to appear, even noisier if i step on the brake hard. i believe its
caused by the dust collected. is there anyway to solve this? i cannot be
washing my drums every day just to get rid of the noise.


and don't spray water to your tyre/rim/break when they are hot, or otherwise your break disc may become crooked reduce in breaking capability and noisy.
