Author Topic: Converting a coaster brake to a freewheel (Read 583 times)

I picked up one of those coaster brake converters from Alans that lets you put a freewheel on and not run it as a coaster anymore, I ran one bitd but cannot remember if the coaster arm has to stay on or not

.

Does anyone know if you can run without it?

I seem to think you can but wanted to check before I fook my wheel up if you can't

Cheers

Marty

Is it the JB adaptor Marty?

If so, then yeah, I'm pretty certain you can run it without the anchor, cos it's no longer needed to counteract any braking effects.

Cheers Brian, it is the JB one so no coaster arm required

Shame really as the arm has polished up really well but I don't want it to scratch the fook out of my frame
