What an odd location for a rear brake too.... great location to get dirt and water sprayed up from the front wheel.

Hm, square taper was my guess too, but I can't see how that could possibly come off, unless the bolt was quite loose to begin with.

I didn't even notice the brake, interesting.

I have the bolt. I tightened the heck out of it. I ordered a new arm for that side after looking the old one is bad. Hope that fixes the issue. What would grease do to help hold it? Threadlocker would work right?

The rear brake works great, never really do mud with this bike so can't say much there. however my dad has an old Peugot with that same location
