Hi does anybody know of an adapter that will convert a Shimano coaster to freewheel.  Not having much luck so far.

Cheers

Kenno's solution was to turn it into a Freecoaster not a freewheel (you can switch between coaster and freewheel)

Maybe this is the gadget your after :-

cheers guys

Tried these ahd they don't fit.  I think they are for the Bendix/Suntour type hub.  Will try to post some pics.

The ACS Freecoasters come in 2 varieties.

Shimano and Suntour/bendix.

So the Freewheel converters must come in 2 varieties too!!!

Yep,
The freewheel converters definitely come in two varieties.
The shimano one has a longer shaft than the suntour / bendix one.

I've attached a pic below so you can see what to keep an eye out for.
suntour / bendix on the left and shimano on the right.

Now on the Bay if anyone is interested.  They work perfectly it's just that the wife really didn't get on with the coaster.

Thanks For the Help.
