SKYWAY TUFF II question

(1/3) > >>

BMXed:
   
     I picked up a 1985 SKYWAY Street Beat and the damned thing has coaster brake. Can I convert the rear wheel to free wheel? The guy at the bike shop said I would need a whole new wheel but I feel he was talking out of his ass......or is he right? :idiot2:
    Bear with me...I am trying to get back upto speed with these bikes ;)

pickle:
coaster brakes are cool!  stick with it and you'll love it  :daumenhoch:   what colour are the tuffs by the way?

BMXed:

  They are black TUFFS and i had coaster brake as a youngster and always wanted the free wheel ;)
         As far as the hub to convert it, are there any vendors you could recommend to find one? Preferably in a dressed up anodized look?


   Thanks!

To me the coaster anchor on the frame is a clue, ride a freestyle bike with a coaster, way more fun. :daumenhoch:

Im sure Iv got a coaster to freewheel converter at home, let me look tonight.

I would have thought there would be a few on here who would swap with you though  :)
