Removing a Coaster Brake ?

(1/4) > >>

brass monkey!:

What's the easiest way to replace a Coaster Brake hub with a standard freewheel on a Skyway wheel? Do I need a conversion kit ? Or replacement hub kit? Never done this before….can anyone help or advise from experience….!?

Thanks

Matt :)

Matt,

Easiest way is to use one of the old JB adaptors (think alans do them?).

It's basically the same helical screw as the drive your flat coaster sprocket sits onto, only it's threaded to take a regular freewheel.

Next option is one of the acs freecoaster kits like wolfybmx is selling. Again, you change the helical driver for the acs one and slap on their freewheel.

Final option is drilling out the hub and retro-fitting a freewheel hub. Kinda hard to get now, you'll probably end up needing a donor wheel.

Hope this helps,

Brian.
