Alles über Rücktrittbremsen: Unterschied zwischen den Versionen

| Coaster brakes work just as well in the rain as they do in dry conditions. || Coaster brakes make it awkward to get started, and prevent the use of clip-in pedals or toe clips and straps, since there's no easy way to rotate the pedals to starting position.

| Coaster brakes generally require less maintenance than any other type of brake. || Coaster brakes often cause skidding, resulting in excessive tire wear.

| There are no cables running from the handlebars, giving a tidy and simple appearance. || When coaster brakes fail (usually the result of chain breakage or derailment) they fail suddenly and completely.

| The lack of cables with a single-speed or kickback two-speed coaster brake is particularly advantageous for folding or take-apart bikes. || Coaster brakes are prone to overheating and fading when used in mountainous areas.

| Coaster brakes can be a good choice for handicapped riders who lack sufficient hand strength, or for arm amputees. || A coaster brake inside an internal-gear hub complicates the mechanism and reduces the options for lubrication.

| Coaster brakes are usually quite narrow, fit in 110-114 mm spacing, though they can be fitted to frames with wider spacing by adding washers along the axle. || A coaster brake is not compatible with derailer gearing or a chain tensioner.

| An internal-gear hub can include a coaster brake, providing both gearing and rear-wheel braking. || Too many bikes are equipped with only a coaster brake, so there's no back-up system in the event of brake failure.

| A bicycle with a coaster brake can coast backward with stationary cranks (useful in acrobatic cycling). || To be safe, any bicycle needs a front handbrake and some sort of rear-wheel braking system. This could be a handbrake, coaster brake or fixed gear.
