Rebuilt the ND brake, rethreaded the fork, replaced steertube bearings, serviced the front hub, and then sat back and admired the lines on this ride.

Did a little work on my ‘24 Schwinn. Broke the drum brake strap yesterday on a ride. Bad design. So I drilled a hole in the arm and used an old coaster brake strap to attach it.

Also decided to swap a more correct Schwinn sprocket on it. Much better.

A lot of force goes back into that bracket. It may twist the coaster brake strap. keep an eye on it friend. I just scored a cheap lady’s bike with an 8 speed Nexus. It will eventually find a home in my next build. The hub, not the lady’s frame!

I will absolutely be checking this out frequently now. I changed my wife’s too, because it was showing signs of soon to be breaking. I would have loved to mount the straps the opposite way so it was pulling on the fork, but if I did that, The cable interferes with the fork… so we shall see. If I have to build something more stout, I will!

I have 4 Sturmey archer hubs with those clips and they are all fine. I suspect you must have got clips from a faulty batch. Maybe talk to SA and see what they say about it.
