While riding today,not very fast at all,applied rear coaster brake easy a few time and it would all of a sudden grab hard ..did this a couple of times...couple miles later heard a loud clunk...when I took a look the brake arm was bent in half,pretzal like ,but still attached to the frame by the clamp and working...When I got home I pulled off the wheel..the axle is wobbleing around big time..I guess the bearings and rest of the chinese parts in there are toast...been reading all the posts on coaster brakes ...This bike is a new shwinn del mar...I dont know if I should have it rebuilt....I don't mind spending the cash for good parts but on the other hand I do not want to spend a dime on a rebuild thats only going to last 50miles....Need some of you guys experiance and sugestions here....will wait till tuesday or wed to take it in...what do you all think'whats my options
