coaster brake = new fixie?

Thread started by onethirtynine at 08.6.08 - 1:44 pm

I know that a bunch of folks (myself included) are riding coaster brake conversions now... but selling a coastie conversion and calling a fixed-gear bike? ...huh?

http://losangeles.craigslist.org/lac/bik/785821798.html

oh P.S. nice price tag. good luck.

reply

I just e-mailed the guy a bunch of questions!!!

that ad is really confusing, because it doesnt' lok like it has a coaster brake, coaster brakes have a little arm that goes to the frame on the non-drive side, hard to tell though

whats weird is that it looks like it has 700c wheels and i'm not sure where you'd get an old 700 wheel with a coaster brake, and i can't see why you'd build a new wheel with a coaster brake, you could have jsut built a cheapo track wheel for the same cost...

aw come on. i think some people just don't know the difference between fixed gear and single speed.... that's probably what he meant right??

@stevex3, i've built a 700c wheel to a coaster brake.

last time i was in SF, i saw a lot of people doing the same type of conversion.

oh and you can see the bracket for the coaster brake attached to the left chainstay if you look closely at the pictures in the ad. it's indeed a coastie.

Best Polo rig I ever rode was hands down a coaster brake road conversion. You can brake without using your hands, and it's real easy to skid and shoot at the same time, something thats very difficult with any other bike. I'd still be riding it if I hadnt been stingy with the grade of parts I was using; that bike is busted now

Next time I gonna do it up right with Deep V rims

people are selling wheelsets with deep-v's laced to coaster brake hubs on cl for like 125 bucks.. not sure what quality the hubs are.

reply

There are not many "good" caoster brake hubs. The best thing o do is ride it till it breaks, then buy a new one.

Speaking of TC4TB's when do you want to get your hub back?

I wouldn't suggest a Deep-V for polo. You should use a Dyad touring Velocity or a Mavic 517touring rim.
