suntour coaster brake

[kjilaja]

just purchased one of these and need to know how to fit to a tuff2,do i need to buy alloy hubbed tuffs and change the centre or is there a way to put a coaster in my plastic middle tuffs?? if that makes sense any help appreciated,thanks..

Yes you need to get Alloy hub tuff, back or front & drill out the rivets & bolt it in, do you have the bolts ? if not I may have some spare 

Also take photo's of the rivets & post them on here before you drill them out, because you have to drill a certain side out

Don't think you can just put a coaster into any tuffs   unless it's one of the complete Suntour ones that have the brake and flanges built together  

[snav69]

Is it one of these that you've bought 




 

[CD17]

You are right Paul, I assumed this was the type that kjilaja was referring to    but good point 

[kjilaja]

the one in the pic looks the same as what i've just bought,what are my options with this?

[snav69]

You need an alloy hubbed tuff (front or rear) and drill the flanges off but be careful as Chris points out there's a right and wrong way of doing this 

Then the suntour one just slots in through the gap and twists in't place lining up the rivet holes

you cant put it into the tuffs you bought from me nick
they would have to be steel or alloy rear mate i reckon

Yes as Paul says, do you have the bolts with it
