Use a coaster brake.

vaseline?

Run your brakes without pads.

Run your brakes as normal until they start to look cummy, then get the fine sand paper, steel wool and polisher and make them into silversides.

Use red ones.

I think I might do that with mine.

it's white and has sort of a pearlescence/opaqueness to it.
