Whencyclingyousupply largeamountsofenergyforstorageinthe brake wheel.Abrake is putupon
thekineticenergybymeansof a frictionbandthatruns round thebrakegrooveof the brakewheel.A
changein braking effecttakesplaceeitherthroughchangingtherate ofpedallingorthroughincreasing
orreducingthetensionofthe friction band against the
brakewheel.
On account of the large amount of energy that
builds up in the brake wheel and as the brake wheel
has no freewheel (the pedals turn with the wheel) it
is most important that the user is fully aware of
how the brake functions and has the shoes properly
secured in the toe clip.
