Appendix C
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.
