Title: Coaster brake.
Post by: stef232 on March 31, 2011, 10:14 PM

Advice needed.

Can a coaster tab be removed from a skyway rear axle and the wheel and axle them just be used as normal or would I need to reach the complete rear axle if I wanted to use the wheel.

Cheers chaps.

If you don't use the brake arm it won't work. It needs to be anchored solid.
To convert to a freewheel use a kit (JB adapter) and then it can be removed.
Can I ask why?
