Rear coaster brake Solex: how to adjust it?

It's always difficult to perfectly adjust the rear rim brakes on Solex when they are installed.

No braking, routing the cable and housing, pad clearance... it's often a hassle.

This new video from L'Atelier explains how to succeed on the first try, starting with a good foundation:

  1. true wheels,

  2. new brake pads

  3. new cable and housing, of the correct size and with a "proper" routing

So if this operation has always put you off, now is the time to regain confidence :)

And if you're still allergic, L'Atelier can do it for you ;)

Happy viewing!
