Coaster brakes: the bane of my existence. 600 rental cruisers and I usually rebuild every rear hub over the winter. Anyone have some extra #9005 and #16 caged bearings laying around? Can Shimano use a higher quality grease in these things? The factory job lasts less then a season, but my rebuilds last for 2 or 3 seasons, then the bike gets committed to the recycler.

Y'all did forget another type: push rod brakes. A type of rim brake that is actuated with push rods instead of cables.
