A band brake uses a flexible band that wraps around the outside of a drum. Pulling on a brake lever connected to the band tightens the band and slows the bike. They are very powerful and quite popular in Japan. As the brake is tightened, the wheel’s turning force makes the band even tighter, multiplying the rider’s braking efforts.

For this reason, band brakes should only be mounted on rear wheels, never on a front wheel.

Also, though powerful, band brakes do not dissipate heat well, so they should not be used on long downhills.
