Need help understanding coaster brakes (3 speed)

[Katywoo_13]

Hi guys! Need help with another question about coasters. Basically I need a decent explanation of how they work, how to fit them, etc. I have looked on YouTube and have not really found any decent videos regarding 3 speed coasters. Any information whatsoever, links, anything would be a massive help. Trying to get organised for my first build and trying to study up on everything :mrgreen: Thank you guys, Kate :wink:

Do you have one already? Shimano, Sturmey, Sram?

These may or may not show a coaster brake but the fitting and plantary gears are similar.

Shimano 3 speed Nexus- this also covers the older 333

I definitely want a nice, fat wheel on the back so it will have to be extra wide no matter what
