The coaster brake is a sealed mechanism, which is a part
of the bicycle’s wheel hub. The brake is activated
by reversing the rotation of the pedal cranks (see the
coaster brake diagram). 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. The more downward pressure you
apply, the more braking force, up to the point where the rear
wheel stops rotating and begins to skid.
CAUTION
: 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.
Adjusting your coaster brake
Coaster brake service and adjustment requires special tools and
special knowledge. Do not attempt to disassemble for service
your coaster brake. Take the bicycle to your dealer for coaster
brake service.
