A bicycle hub gearbox is provided for a multi-speed hub with a coaster
brake mechanism. The bicycle hub gearbox basically has a first planetary
gear mechanism, a second planetary gear mechanism, a braking mechanism
and a clutch mechanism. The second planetary gear mechanism is
operatively coupled with the first planetary gear mechanism. The braking
mechanism is selectively coupled to the first planetary gear mechanism.
The clutch mechanism selectively couples an output side of the first
planetary gear mechanism to an input side of the second planetary gear
mechanism to selectively transmit either a driving torque applied by a
rider in a driving direction depending on a selected gear ratio or a
braking torque applied by the rider in a braking direction to the braking
mechanism independent of a selected gear ratio via one path such that a
resulting braking effect is substantially equal independent of the
selected gear ratio.
