coaster brake not engaging
Friend of mine asked me what would cause a coaster brake hub to
sometimes skip and require backpedaling a half turn. I think this is a three speed planetary gear coaster hub. He does not complain about it skipping when he pedals forward is there an adjustment or lubrication required? Thanks in advance |

ISTR my 3-speed coaster brake hub behaving the same way, I had to backpedal a fair bit when braking in first gear. Unless this is accompanied by strange noises or reduced braking performance, I wouldn't worry too much. Do you happen to know who made your friend's 3-speed coaster brake hub? -- mark |

Some three speeds lose braking in neutral (TCW series) Oh, you mean "doesn't always engage brake"? Look at the retarder assembly. Or a loose bearing adjustment. -- Andrew Muzi www.yellowjersey.org Open every day since 1 April, 1971 |
