Nexus 7 speed coaster brake questions
I could not find much here on the coaster brake version of the Nexus 7
hub. What type of service are folks getting from the 7 speed Nexus coaster brake hubs??? How well do they stop? Life of brake in "normal" conditions. (NOT salt and ice) Ease of shifting, life of hub, maintenance???? Failures of any kind??? I like coaster brakes and will be using a front brake , so I'm just looking for info from informed folks . Thanks, Robert |

I like coaster brakes and will be using a front brake , so I'm just looking for info from informed folks . All I can tell ya is that all my relatives in Sweden use that hub, it's immensely popular on city bikes there, and I don't think they've ever had to service them. It's perfectly suited to pairing with a front rim brake. I've borrowed and ridden one there down some major steep hills, it's as nice a coaster brake as you'll ever need. I'm not sure how easy it is to get brake shoes for it if you wear them out or even the composition (brass?) but as far as greasing, unless you ride major miles, it'll be a long time in the future. I've put tens of K on the roller brake version with zero problems. Slop or sun, doesn't matter. |
