What is the best coaster brake, your opinions?

[Rustinkerer]

I have an Evans with a Polish made "Lucznic" coaster brake, haven't rode it, but I wonder about it's performance!

I can say that it works for many thousands of miles, but don't know if its the best:

For bearings (also bottom bracket bearings) I use:
Klüber ISOFLEX TOPAS NCA 52
I am very lucky with an employer who throws this stuff away from time to time.

For the brake pads I use:
kluber wolfracoat c
To deal with potential high temperatures. But my country is a pancake, so no height differences and long brake runs.

Good luck!

Any grease is better then no grease , some of the old timers would even use lard .

I have 3 bikes with the shimano nexus 3 speed and coaster brake. The brake has plenty of stopping power. Locks up easily. Never had an issue with any of them and the best thing is they were all from Chinese Schwinns I bought for no more than $50. I have a 7 speed nexus with a roller brake with little stopping power but it is new and may improve once broken in.

Still foot operated, so a coaster brake
