Coaster bracket

[gmac]

Having never owner a bike with a coaster brake before, how do you attach the arm to the frame ?

I have 2 Motomag frames, one with a coaster bracket & one without. Both rear wheels have coasters, so I need to know how to attach them.

Cheers

you should be able to put a small bolt straight through!!

You get a strip of metal which bends around the frame and forms a clamp for the frame without a coaster tab, and for the one with you just need a small bolt

Cheers chaps. 

Where would I find such a piece of metal Bill, or will I have to have something made ? I'm guessing a jubilee clip ain't really playing the game. Am I right ?

They normally come with the coaster wheel Guy, but like Rom said a hinged seatpost clamp was used as well bitd.

You may have to bend the coaster brake arm to fit the seatpost clamp though 

[Rombloke]

and wrap the frame with a little insulating tape to build it up the frame to the rght diameter

As mentioned . . . Dia Compe hinged or twin bolt seat clamp with packing

I think I have a spare DC hinged clamp somewhere which has been modified for use with a coaster . . . I'll have a rummage and let you know if I find it
