Bonded brake shoes have been the norm now for many years and usually perform well and do not cause problems; however handbrake shoes do not wear like normal brake shoes and therefore do not get changed every 3 or 4 years as a normal shoe would. Another problem is corrosion where water penetrates the join between the shoe and the friction material and causes rust which pushes the lining off, in a traditional shoe used for braking the regular heat build up would dry it out. The obvious solution would be to fit rivets.
