I was the guy that said sealed bearings where better. I forgot to tell you coaster breaks don’t hold up to super human speeds on the bike. I use mountain bike rims on my cruiser most all of them have sealed bearings and eliminates coaster breaks. My cranbrook is a five year daily rider except in snow. 20,000 + miles on fourstroke 49cc i broke three of those coaster break rims. There expensive, just go with mt bike rims and ignore the large gear cassette, i just run a tight chain on one gear. Way cheaper !
I was thinking about using a MTB rim….but their spokes are punny….and a CNC hub kills spokes’ even if you make a key….it rips the hub apart…then the spokes…it very annoying!
@@ebperformance8436 no you just had the wrong sized hub I run 3 of those rightnow on mtb rims. No damage,no key,no rubber,no jb weld. Just blue lock. Tite on a good hub with torque. On 55mph+ race bikes.
I have a coaster brake on mine and have had zero issues. I think people are having trouble because they're leanin' on that pedal with every fiber of their being, and, having gone through more than a few coaster brakes for that reason, learned you can't do that. Gradual braking is key, and it also helps to have front brake assist, at any speed. This is all based on my own experience...
I re-laced my stock steel clincher wheels with disc hubs and welded the caliper mounts onto the fork and frame. Although my welding skills are mediocre, they've held up well and give me more than enough confidence to slow down and stop quickly enough.
coaster brakes work, just have to adjust once in awhile. Make sure lock nuts are tight on cone nuts!! they do not spin unless the lock nuts were not tight to begin with.
Those tower thingies are loading posts for Traction sand, in tough situations where the rails are wet, covered in leaves, etc... Both steam and diesel electric locomotives have air driven sanders that shoot sand in between the rail and the wheel to boost traction.
Good job keeping it upright. Coaster brake failure can ruin your day. If that’s all you have run it just remember to periodically pedal even though you’re not with cadence of the bikes current speed pedaling slowly to keep that thing from building heat. Keyword pedal slowly and not too fast you may throw your chain off.
I had this happen 2 times... do not trust coaster brakes at high speeds! I was going down a road at about 35mph when it locked up on me completely. I did not fall, thank god, but I ended up grinding my tires into oblivion. I did take the brake plates out, and slapped a disk brake on.
I don't use coster brakes on motorized bicycles. The first time I had the little screw vibrate loose holding down the break arm, the brake arms starts spinning a million miles an hour till the hub seizes up. Once was enough for me. I take the brake arms off and use a C break.
@@LAHover thanks. So I’m going to be a first time builder and planning on getting a cranbrook and zeda 80 firestorm. What should I replace right from the jump? Delete the coaster brakes for dual caliper / hand brakes? Will I have to adjust the crank arms? Do you know of any videos with a guide to this since so many people end up getting rid of the coaster brakes? I am a first time builder and new to this so I am scared to get the cranbrook and not know what to do with it to make it more safe. I posted in your discord as well
I saw this one UA-cam video where instead of a mirror. This guy had a little camera mounted on the back of his bike. And he had a little screen mounted on his handlebars. I don't have the know-how but it was a pretty sweet setup.
The 40:1 is slightly richer than 32:1 and back in my racing days, we would do that to change fuel mixture a half jet size. It's not much of a difference, but you can tell easily between 25:1 and 50:1.
I added a rear U brake and use the coaster as an (e) brake...hope that will be enough for a 80cc motor, can't wait to get this project going will update.
My coaster brake also failed while I was driving downhill. Almost had an accident thanks to the Coaster Brake itself even though it failed I was saved by it because the Hub locked inside and the wheel don't spin anymore and that's why it stopped me downhill for being a destroyed but still brakes. The rpm burned the mechanicals inside the hub, the high heat caused to dried all the lubes and destroyed my brake. I'm only using a China Coaster Hub. Only last 1 month on Motorized Bike.
There was a really nice all chrome rectangle flat mirror i got for mine awhile back for ten bucks at J&P Cycles Motorcycle/Chopper company. Its very good quality to me and doesn't move unless it is bumped with a considerable amount of force.
What kind of hand brakes do you get for a stock cranbrook? Would love a video on that since so many people get the Cranrbooks and only use the coaster brake.
Yes the first time I mashed down the the coaster brakes going over 30 miles an hour, mine spun the pedal crank forward too. I remember as a kid, I was riding down Cemetery hill, this was the first time that happened to me too. I know why local kids called it Cemetery hill tool.
I’m not too sure about coaster brakes because I’ve mainly worked on cable brakes but could it be that he was going so fast that he grounded down the brake?
The cone nut spun and striped out the cheap/thin the brake are. I got a stronger brake are to replace it with. Now I only use a coaster brake for slowing down, not for emergency stops.
I found this video because I heard that coaster brakes can malfunction going at high speeds, and I wanted to see if other people had experienced this. I like to ride downhill on my BMX bike, and hand brakes don't completely stop you at high speeds so I was thinking of getting a coaster brake. I will just stick with handbrakes. Thanks for this video.

Hey buddy! Love your vids. Have you ever thought of doing a cylinder swap for a 70cc minarelli ? Makes the bike do at least 50. Also the NGK B6HS is a great plug.
I'm getting ready to install an engine on my bike. So far I've only got the sprocket on and I put the tire back on but my back tire does not spend very freely what the heck I've tried to redo it like 8 to 10 times now and it's still not spinning freely any suggestions
Your mix change is definitely the difference in your high rpm knock/ping. Go back to your 32:1 and enjoy, the power gain is insignificant if your tuned for the mix right, which it is at your old mix. As to filing the key, yeah it can be done, but be prepared to crack the case regular to reset it and lock it down, the vibes will not allow it to stay set long
Hello, what size motor do you have and what size rear drive sprocket? Looks like you were smokin down the road like shot through the a gun on that bike!.. Hehe
Okay so I have a beach cruiser and it has coaster brakes I guess that's the pedal brakes I'm not really sure but I'm wondering if that would be okay to have on the bike with a motor please somebody answer me back
Yes, but try to and some rim brakes if you can. Coasters can fail during emergency stops. Also make sure both cone nuts on the rear wheel are properly adjusted after installing the rear sprocket.
I would not grind down the key way because it seems like a weak point. More prone to breaking I think. Also I have the same problem with my yd100. It doesn’t run the smoothest as if it’s missing a fire every once in a while. It has to be our Cdi or strength of the magneto
I did it's cool because you only need front brake lever on your right but have a lot of cons. I think the coaster hub can't handle high rpm bevause it burns inside and dried hub the lubes.
Just went out of stock. But look up the Huffy Lockland (mens). It's basically the same frame but with rim brakes and a shifter. Also the Kent Bayside. Similar good for 2 strokes.
Same has happed to my coaster brake except my wheel locked up. I took it apart and packed it red grease seemed to to the trick. But I didn’t trust it after having to carry the bike back. so I no longer have a coaster. Went with sturmey archer hubs.
Hey, I have a motorized bike and when I wanna turn it on . I pedal and everything but I release the clutch and accelerate and it brakes hardcore , it doesn't want to run at all . I'm not even able to ride it normal
I have always refused to build a motorized bike with a coaster break. It's not hard to disengage the break geto and put real breaks n a double pull lever
I have never had trouble with the coaster brake on my cranbrook now i don't go the speeds most of you guys go because I think 20 mph is plenty fast for that kind of bicycle. However i've only went about 15,000 mi on mine so I don't know maybe it does make a difference when it gets older.
Im considering buying YD100 or YD80 personally i prefer YD100 because i will be using it for cruising ( about 30 miles a day ) can you tell me witch kit is more reliable. I want top speed around 35 mph. Which is better and why?

So far the only failure I have had on a Cranbrook is the coaster brake. More specifically the soft coaster brake arm striped out.

Have you ever had problem in your bike that the top chain from the engine is hitting the sidewall of the tire once in a while?
