Hello. I replaced the rear wheel of my stock ebike that originally came with a drum brake built into the rim of the wheel. The bike was given to me by a 70 year old who man rode it for a month, fell off it (messed up the wheel internals) and his wife made him give it up. I know his wife and she knows I needed transportation so they told me it's mine, "Just replace the rear wheel." So I did. Everything else was in pristine condition.
I have little funds but I managed to replace the wheel. However, this means I lost the drum brake. I am down to my last $40 after all of this and with shipping delays, and no bike shop nor mechanic in my city, I need to find a type of brake that is compatible with my bike frame. I do not have the time nor monetary resources to buy a brake, find out it doesn't work, then return it, then try a new brake etc. So I am asking for help from you guys as this community seems knowledgeable.
Thank you.
