BMX coaster brakes are a type of bicycle brake that uses a coaster mechanism to stop the bike. The coaster brake is operated by pedaling backwards, which engages the brake pads and slows the bike down. BMX coaster brakes are a popular choice for BMX riders because they are simple to operate and require little maintenance.
Bicycle brakes work by using friction to slow down or stop a bike. There are two main types of brakes used on BMX bikes – rim brakes and disc brakes. Rim brakes work by using pads that press against the wheel rims to slow the bike down. Disc brakes work by using a metal disc that is attached to the wheel and a caliper that squeezes the disc to slow the wheel down. BMX bikes usually have rim brakes, but some higher-end BMX bikes may have disc brakes.
