meaning it like having the brakepad lightly touched on the rims - you can feel the resistance.

fixed + drum brake will be fine, the combination of a fixed wheel drivetrain and drum brake will be more than enough to stop you.

Thanks for that Ed, useful info. Just one more thing if you don't mind; I've read on another forum that using different levers can have a significant effect on the braking. I would probably prefer to use a Dirty Harry style lever, over perhaps a more sensible old-school mountain bike lever. Have you any experience of/or info on the effect of using that style of lever with the hub brake?
