I am sure your problem is that the contour of the band does not fit the drum properly. I got so irritated at a new set of bands I bought that I gave them back to my supplier. Never heard a word from them. If you can get good brakes with a little extra free travel though you are ok. I could not, even with full travel they dragged like heck. Actually, I found some really nice used bands at the salvage yard and used them.

I would be happy with 3.5Inches. After they wear in for 6 months or so adjustment mightbe able to reduce that to 2 inches with no drag. Jim
