The brake is called a Scrub brake... and it rubs directly on the tire. Some had a curved aluminum shoe, while others were simply a steel paddle. They work fine as long as the tires are dry. Fox brochures can be found at: http://minidoodle.com/id28.htm

I have a Sprite that has a foot operated band brake that appears as though it may have been added on. It has 4 inch wheels and is a very close fit in the wheel. In pictures I've seen it looks like they had bigger wheels,maybe 5 or 6 inch. What size did they come with?

Darvin....The Fox Sprites came with 410/350x4 tires and tubes which means they had a 4 inch wheel rim....Ogy.
