Hey chaps, new pics added to the goose as it stands. I need opinions. I have a 1080 brake set up. But my Tuffs are coasters, I think I prefer the cleanness of a coaster brake on a goose. If anyone could help me locate a coaster tab and sprocket (in this country) I'd really appreciate it

jp-rebel · « **Reply #15 on:** October 12, 2011, 04:00 PM »

Lookin good

and not a million miles away from the way I had it

This is how I got round the coaster anchor problem:

Didn't realise the f&f were yours originally JP

Yeah, I was thinking about doing something similar with the tab - I'd like an original set up if I can find one though. Dont suppose you still have that plate?

brettypeeps · « **Reply #17 on:** October 12, 2011, 08:27 PM »

That is a bit of alright. you must be stoked

Sorry I Ebayed the Plate a while ago and it's now in Oz.
