Removing a Coaster Brake ?

<< < (3/4) > >>

duncan:
There's also the Precision Products 'Unbrake', sort of a spacer that fits in a Suntour coaster brake and deactivates the braking mechanism.

I just bought a Sturmey Archer 16t cog and circlip from Ebay, hopefully they'll fit my skyway coaster brake.
I'd bought a set of wheels but these parts were missing - I read that they were packaged seperately in a bag BITD and were sometimes lost.

I've done a couple of these conversions and they all seem to be a bit shite.

Is it me or do the cones always seem to come loose. They seem to be either too tight or too loose.
I've found that the wheel doesn't spin as freely once the conversion has been done.

Can someone shed some light.

brass monkey!:
.......should I keep the coaster ?!  :-\

Picked up the Skyways yesterday (they are the real early Tuff 2's), they look brand spanking new, never even been set-up ! It'd be a shame to mess with them.......

jimwise68:
Even though the conversion isn't brill (It might be my mechanics)

it is still better than a coaster!  ;D  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
