dasMajor Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 I am looking after some spare parts. I need the entire brake system (cables, handles, brakes, ...) Can anyone help me or tell me where to look? I also need the backwheel. Can someone also tell me if it is actualy possible to repauir a torpedo brake system? Or where van I find such a wheel? Thanks a lot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony B Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 By torpedo brake do you mean the unit in the back hub, in UK they are called Coaster brakes? If so yes, they are very simple, strip it apart and you'll find a couple of brass shoes that expand when pushed back. Mine just needed cleaning the old grease out and refitting. thia is a useful place. http://bsamuseum.wordpress.com/1944-bsa-mk-v-military-roadster/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thing is that it feels like it splits open. I ll have to find a way to lock it again. I am able to slow down just a little bit but you can't say that I'm breaking at that moment ...
