Mysterious. How the hell did that happen in a design 100+ years old?


It's fake news. We all know that the old days were *far* superior to
modern rim/disc brakes.

Honestly, greasing brakes!


Actually the old style single speed coaster brakes did have grease or
oil in them. See

under "Lubrication".


It's brakes and grease, I will never surrender my opinion this is a good
thing[TM]. How do they work?
