It will be hard not to Gish, if its a rider then its gonna happen, i like the standard DC brick ones, although they are plenty of racers on here that will be able to give you better advice mate  :daumenhoch:

i've got a set of dc blocks but thought blue skyway blocks might been better for the blue anno rims :-\

A coaster hub seems like a good compromise in this case- helps if your bike has a coaster mount but not essential.  Nice stopping power with no damage to your rim. :shocked:
