Task Summary

Cable Actuated Drum Brake



Coaster Brake

Hub brakes consist of cable actuated drum brakes or coaster brakes. It is possible to take off the hub, open it up and service it. However, especially with coaster brakes, it is very easy to run into trouble. We recommend that you take out the relevant wheel as shown here and take the hub to your nearest service centre.
