How about an outstanding value? Now you can replace your Meridian's rear brake with this 80 mm bicycle rear band brake assembly for Schwinn Meridian trikes. Black finished steel body Riveted band 80 mm inner diameter 3-1/8" outside rotor diameter Most bicycles these days eschew band brakes for either caliper brakes, disc brakes, or coaster brakes. Nonetheless, many 3-wheel trikes like the Schwinn Meridian series still use this tried & true system as band brakes are still the best method around when it comes to applying the brake to a small 2-wheel axle barrel. Unlike the larger drum brakes used on automobiles, band brakes provide braking friction by using a spring-like metal band that clamps down on the spinning rotor.
