Coaster Brakes
Although coaster brakes are rare these days, they can still be found on older bikes and some new kids bikes.
They work when you apply backwards pressure to the pedals. This causes brake pads inside the rear hub to engage and stop the bike.
If you take apart a coaster brake, be very careful. They are full of parts that will spill out everywhere if you are not careful. Take caution and lay out the parts in a line so that you can reinstall them later.
