I actually rarely use the brakes except to come to a complete stop or for a little fine-tuning on hills. The day when I had that off-and-on pulsing the drums were barely warm to the touch even at the bottom of the hill. My recent run was just for test purposes so I did "ride" the brakes just to see if they would hold. I don't think heat is an issue. I may have a cracked drum, though when I tested it this year there was no pulsing. I'm attributing the pulsing and the lockup to deteriorated front hoses at this point. The remaining problem is how to get a decently firm pedal. That's where I'm stumped.
