The separate shoes on the 75 system is most of the problem, in my opinion. If, like most people, you only apply the handbrake when stopped, the shoes never really wear in. I've found that you really need to abuse the handbrake every now and again to clean up the shoes. When slowing down to traffic lights gradually apply the hand brake to slow you down (not with a 38 tonner right behind you though). Keep doing this, even pulling the handbrake on quite hard when you are on a quiet road, until you get a much better feel and grip from the back. Re-adjust and they should be much better.
