Who used a coaster BITD?

<< < (5/5)

i rode one for about a month but never got on with it, almost sent myself over the bars a few times dropping in. gave it to my brother who rode it for about a month as well, he never got on with it either. the funniest thing i've ever seen was when we were on the way too the local ramp pedaling at speed. we crossed over a road and just as my brother went to bunnyhop up the kerb he hit the brake and ended up going over the bars onto grass luckily.  ;D i've been using a freecoaster for about the last 20 years now and find them much better.

Ive got one on my '85 World Tour which Ive had since new.  I aways liked it but did fit and ACS Freecoaster so had the best of both worlds.

As like many others, I too had a green Raleigh Strika with a coaster brake.
Progressing in to BMX late 79, part of my decision was based on the type of brakes fitted when I chose the Redline MX-II Moto-S as my first BMX.
A few years later when the Skyway Tuff 2's were released, I asked my mum for a set of red coaster tuffs for my birthday. With great excitement I ripped open the Skyway box, fitted them immediately thinking wow technology's moved on, Skyway's done away with the arm!! I jumped on my machine and tore off down the road to show them off (and I do mean Down the road as we lived at the top). Let's just say my short life flashed before me when I realised technology advances weren't so fast and my mum had bought the wrong ones!! I was a lucky lad that day when I went flying across the main road unprepared.
I then fitted a calliper brake and have not ridden with a coaster since.

still got my grey coater tuffs when they came out -to do pedal pickers on ,then put a acs freecoaster so i could have the best of both .
still had a dabble with a few bikes with a coaster now ,but prefer to use a suntor coaster hub but with freecoaster washers fitted  in
