Coaster brake hub spinning and slowing to a stop

nice spin

That leaves alot of play between pedaling and breaking which is not good when you like to ride wheelies because you can't break fast enough to maintain your balance. That's a bummer.

What's the music?

@scarlaton1 Something from YouTube's Audio Swap library. I can't recall the name or artist, and the info isn't showing under the video for some reason.

How did u make the wheel not stop. I bought an old bike like tht for like 10 bucks and I wanna remove The brake ... Help me out?

This old coaster brake was taken apart, cleaned, and regreased. The hub bearing cones were loosened slightly to help it spin freely after pedaling. When the cones are too tight, bikes like this require constant pedaling and quickly coast to a stop instead of freely gliding along like they should.

Enter these terms into Google for a good page about coaster brakes from a bicycle mechanic:

"sheldon brown" "coaster brake"

@juanschannel9703 buy a new cassete hub that contains pedal back brakes

@curbhash The camera samples audio at 8 KHz. Not enough clarity to convey the subtleties of tire turbulence.

The bouncing was caused by springs in the saddle.
