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

It's fake news.Â* 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
https://www.sheldonbrown.com/coaster-brakes.html
under "Lubrication".

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


They've always, by design, had greased end bearings and bendix ramps.
Classic bronze-on-steel braking or modern steel-steel pushes the
lubricant aside with no issues.

Shimano Roller Brake hubs also need greased brake surfaces.

And of course, lots of motorcycles use wet clutches. Pretty similar physics.
