Coaster brakes

<< < (2/2)

bigfatolly:
They are really weird,I just got some Motomags with a coaster on and had a little ride with them without a caliper as backup,very strange feeling but a challenge to get used to I suppose......

For normal riding around they would be great but if you like to jump off kerbs, bunny hops etc , landings can hurt when your shins get it from a pedal ???

a few years ago my brother got some z rims with a coaster, we were cranking along the road and went to bunnyhop up a kerb onto some grass. he accidently pedaled back just enough to slam on the brake and throw himself over the bars at speed. funniest thing i,ve ever seen.  ;D they do take a bit off getting used to and can be tricky rolling in a ramp.

In 1980 I had a new motomag and it was only about 3 months later my dad made it freewheel after it caused me to have a big off , still got the wonky shin bone and scar to prove it :LolLolLolLol:
