DETAILED MAINTENANCE

Lubrication

Remove any accumulated dirt from the freewheel with a brush and a

degreaser. Disassembly of the freewheel is a complicated procedure

requiring special tools, and should be left to a specialist. Apply oil to the

freewheel whenever you lubricate that chain, taking care to wipe off any

excess.

COASTER HUB

Many BMX style and other children’s bicycles are fitted with a coaster

hub brake in the rear wheel. This type of brake offers the advantages

of reliability and easy operation. The brake is operated by applying back

pedal pressure and allows the rider the ‘coast’ without pedaling, if desired.

There are several models of coaster hubs available, and the internal

mechanisms are very complex. They require infrequent attention as far

as lubrication, adjustment or replacement of internal parts; if needed, this

should be left to a specialist.

Keep the coaster hub sprocket clean and oil it along with the chain.

Make sure the brake arm is correctly attached to the

chainstay with the brake arm clip. The brake will not

operate otherwise.
