9T freecoaster on a 1986 Haro FST?

(1/3) > >>

Hi

I am just middle on getting the bike made and I need to know if a 9T cog freecoaster would work? It will have a Profile 3 piece crank and adaptor with a spider and old school chainwheel and chain. I don't have a chain yet. If it wouldn't work, is there anyway to make it,different chain and chainwheel?

Thanks for any help,its all very confusing getting back into bikes :D

Thanks  :)

pickle:
The issue you'll have is the haro will have 10mm dropouts and the freecoaster will be 14mm.

Other than that it would be fine.

pickle it does say its a 10mm axle so looks like it should be ok,maybe have to shorten chain? Not been a bike for years so its all new to me at the moment :LolLolLolLol:

pickle:
That's cool then, the other thing to bare in mind is that you will need to use a small front sprocket so your gearing is OK to ride with

It will be fine buddy. Skyway do a 9T freewheel rear wheel now, if you wanted to go that way too  :coolsmiley:

You will, however, need to reduce the front chainring size to roughly 25T or you will struggle to get anywhere. 9T rear, 25T front is roughly equivalent to 16T rear and 44T front  :daumenhoch:
