Post by: Devilock on May 25, 2012, 11:55 AM

Never used these before, so how do I install a freewheel?!    :-[

Does the arm just screw onto the frame? Screws were not supplied!

you dont install a freewheel - its a coaster brake - connect the arm to the coaster brake tab on the frame - if it has one - if not just use a jinged seat clamp and secure it to the rear stay ... just like bitd

firstly you need a compatible Suntour sprocket (i believe) then the outer ring comes off, on goes the sprocket (should sit into grooves) then back on with the clip....tighten up lock nut.

i think that's how they go but weired that it doesn't have one.  those Tuffs don't look like they've ever been near a bike!  :shocked:

To make it a freewheel all you need is one of these

(http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/NzMzWDEwMjQ=/$(KGrHqMOKo4E6(JfYnkQBOp,Fq,7d!~~60_35.JPG)

and a regular BMX freewheel to screw onto it.  It's a simple 15 min job to swap out the coaster part with the freewheel part and job done.

Could the coaster still be used in the same way?

No, once converted the coaster no longer works, there is another conversion out there that turns them into a freecoaster but I've not seen them in years and can't remember what they are called.  I think the other guys have shown what you need to get working though as a coaster brake
