Coaster Hub

Many BMX style and other children's bicycles are fitted with a Coaster Hub
Brake Arm Clip
Brake in the rear wheel. This type of brake offers the advantages
of reliability and easy operation. The brake is operated by applying back
pedal pressure and allows the rider to "coast" without pedalling
Brake Arm
if desired.
There are several models of coaster hubs available, and the internal
mechanisms are very complex. They require infrequent attention as far as
Sprocket
lubrication, adjustment or replacement of internal parts, but this
should be left to a specialist if needed.
Keep the coaster hub sprocket clean and oil it along with the chain.
Make sure the brake arm is correctly attached to the chainstay
with the brake arm clip. The brake will not operate otherwise.
