Question about trailer brakes
My brake coils on a Dexter 3500 pound axle are not wearing flat. There is a ridge at the bottom of the coil as if that portion of the coil is beyond the armature on the hub and isn't seeing the wear ...

Rubber lines age out, crack or fail internally and you can't tell the quality of a line by looking at it other than seeing it's rubber, which I know isn't the best. Looking at the price of it, there's no way it's can be that high end. It's made to a price-point.
"Steel" (or copper nickel) doesn't suffer from any of those issues and it's just the right way to do the job.
My drums work surprisingly well. They are the same exact brakes our last TT had (which was 2K# lighter) but have a lot more stopping power for some reason (wiring probably). I can lock them up pretty eassily.
Like I wrote, not enough miles a year to justify at this point.
