The komet super had less resistance than bendix before greasing but after greasing and laced into wheel they seem to be about the same. I can not tell any difference when riding. I have some more tests to do that should tell the difference. So far the bendix red band seem to be the best of the...

If your bendix coaster brake is not braking well then it needs overhauled. I have never had problems braking with any bendix model, red band all the way up to bendix 86.

never cared for 2 and 3 speed coaster brakes

I have always liked bendix for a long time. I am always interested in testing one coaster brake against another to find out which one has the least resistance when coasting and peddaling {how easy it is to turn sprocket with hub in your hand}. With good braking. One reason I always liked Bendix...

I think I will start a new post in the appropriate section, about what is the best coaster brake?

There is no movement at the brake arm now that I have fixed that problem at the start. I never have had problems with a Bendix brake arm moving, just put a clamp on it and go. I have taken it back apart and cleaned out the hub used fine steel wool to clean out any residue and used another brake...

Thanks I will keep that in mind.

thanks for the reply I wanted to hear that they will lock up if operating correctly. I was also having problems with the brake arm moving on me when braking so I wrapped electrical tape around the frame tube so the brake arm is up against the electrical tape and that stopped the brake arm...

This is my first time using a komet super coaster brake, I have always used Bendix before and never had a problem with braking. Here is what I did, I cleaned all the parts up and then greased everything good with high temperature wheel grease including brake shoes. It does come to a stop but not...

Hi have been building my own bicycles from parts since I was a kid, 25 years ago. I have always liked coaster brakes mainly Bendix but I have been experimenting with different coaster brakes lately. I have some questions but will post in the right places. Daniel
