Suntour coaster onto skyway graphite ?

<< < (5/23) > >>

fischflo:
... idunno, maybe leehunt aint so wrong with his idea of "So do I not use a freewheel with a coaster ?"   .... just might be straightforward thinking.
--- i mean, if its true that a "JB Adaptor kit" (coaster to freewheell) basically consists of only a replacement of just the "driver"-component of the hub (f.ex. http://bmxmuseum.com/forums/viewtopic.php?id=103895) ----- then why shouldn't it work to fit the ('equivalent') coaster parts of an extra (non graphite) suntour hub into the suntour freewheel hub of a nice set of (campy) graphites leehunt's wil have to look out for....?

Isn't it just a reversal of what you do when you convert a coaster into f/w using a kit   ------ only now using a spare coaster wheel/hub as the (donor) "kit"?
That way he wouldnt have to destroy a set of square flange (= campy ?) graphites    ------- (neglecting the problem of the 'goldeness' of the flanges here for a moment  :crazy2:).  ???
Guess i'm wrong, though. Just becasue there exists a kit that can adapt to a coaster hub and turn it into f/w doesn't necessarily mean that the coaster-specific driver components fit into a f/w hub, only because they're both suntour  :crazy2:.         But maybe it IS possible... i doubt it, though.

2) But how about this: just slap a Campy hub cap mod on a set of new graphites ...................??
3) What you seem to plan anyway:........ replace old f/w hub with an old suntour coaster hub ................... And then what... slap a Campy hub cap over it, or even replace the old flanges of the coaster hub? ......... hope you're lucky and find an old suntour coaster hub with SQUARE flanges (..... is there a difference between campy and just square...? I think yes, so chances are you'd have to replace flanges anyway )

not a freewheel a cog that normally comes with the coaster

I haven't got a spare grand at the moment

if you don't have a spare grand for the frame and forks, you're fooked for the campy graphites then  :shocked:

Camp grahipes with a coster will be the price of a small car :LolLolLolLol:

note these don't have a coaster either
