Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

The discussion has been about front brakes, I suppose because that's
where most of the action and maintenance is... but can someone comment
about rear brakes.  I realize those shoes don't do much of the work but
(mine at least) seem to wear very very slowly.  Is it normal to get 3 or
4 times the wear (miles) out of the shoes vs the front pads?  Thanks.
