9T freecoaster on a 1986 Haro FST?

Thanks for all the info :)

Think I will leave it, I don't like the idea of a small chainwheel on an old school build :) I will have to look out for an older freecoaster hub.

pickle:
Can't you just change the 9t for something more old school friendly?

I have asked the guy that ,but I have been out of it for so many years not got a clue :D just in the middle of getting my first bike built at the tender age of 43 :LolLolLolLol:

Yup,you should be able to put a 16t sprocket on the freecoaster :daumenhoch:

I went theugh this fully with my Badlander when I built it and found that a 9T drive caused the chain to hit the frame. I put an oldschool shark chaingaurd on and it worked a treat with a 25T front cog. Porkchop makes repro snowflake chainwheels down to 25T and they look awesome. I have a blue one up for grabs if you want to try it as i'm running a 28/10 gearing now.

If you want to run an oldschool look drop down to 36/13 as once again you can get 36 or 35T chainrings to fit a standard 110mm bolt centre spider or powerdisc. Look in the me and my bikes section at my latest bike, my white Retrogoose and see.

If you truely want to keep it oldschool then don't forget early Shimano cassette hubs ran down to 14T and the late 70's Geese had these with a 39T chainring. My Badlander is now running 39/14 and it looks awesome.

I will post pics up later but i'm on my phone so can't right now. Hope it helps though mate and welcome back to BMX.
