If you get going & start applying the front brake & get harder & harder on it & start feeling a pulse in the lever or feel it slow hard, ease off, slow hard, ease off, then its warped enough to matter, for sure. It could be warped anough to matter even IF it doesnt do that. You can look at it by getting the front wheel off the ground & giving it a spin.
My rear brake locked up too easily for me, so I modified the rear shoes to have a lot less area contacting the drum, by cutting grooves across in several places. Now I can actually feel the pressure on the pedal before it slides the wheel. Another thing is how high the pedal is when the shoes contact the drum. Dont set it down so low you cant get on it quickly if you need it, but if it locks on contact, then its no use either.
