Coaster Brake
1. How the coaster brake works
The coaster brake is a sealed mechanism which is a part
of the bicycle’s rear wheel hub. The brake is activated
by reversing the rotation of the pedal cranks (see fig. 5).
Start with the pedal cranks in a nearly horizontal position,
with the front pedal in about the 4 o’clock position, and
apply downward foot pressure on the pedal that is to the
rear. About 1/8 turn rotation will activate the brake. The
more downward pressure you apply, the more braking
force, up to the point where the rear wheel stops rotating
and begins to skid.
WARNING: Before riding, make sure that the brake is
working properly. If it is not working properly, have
the bicycle checked by your dealer before you ride
it.
WARNING: If your bike has only a coaster brake,
ride conservatively. A single rear brake does not
have the stopping power of front-and-rear brake
systems.
2. Adjusting your coaster brake
Coaster brake service and adjustment requires
special tools and special knowledge. Do not attempt
to disassemble or service your coaster brake. Take the
bicycle to your dealer for coaster brake service.
