Best Coaster Brake Hub for a Whizzer?

[MaxGlide]

Thanks Thimmaker.

I know I can drill it out, I did that with teh Morrow hub. I was just wondering if there would be enough metal leftover after drilling to keep the hub strong enough.

I have a Bendix coaster hub but the 10 gauge hole will mean there is very little metal left on the outer part of the hub.

Thanks... Wayne

Thought I'd update you all on this hub thing.

I thought i should take a closer look at the Morrow hub as after doing more reading it was supposed to be a very good hub. Turns out there were two things that were making it malfunction.
1) I had not assembled the bushing to the cone on the arm side properly which meant the gap between the expanding sleeve (with teeth) was too big and the teeth did not engage properly when braking. the barely caught and started slipping making a terrible ratcheting noise.
2) I had put too much grease in some places where the instruction was to oil the gears, not goop on grease.

Anyway, luckily I had a Morrow hub with good parts on it so I switched them out for the ones I had mangled due to the slippage, greased and oiled as instructed and it works great now!!

WOOOHOOO!!! No need to get another, hub, drill it out for 10g spoked, re-lace the hub, true the wheel....

Lesson learned, read and follow instructions to the letter and all will be fine.

Glad you figured the Morrow out. They're awesome hubs. If you ever want to run a late model brake that has 1/2'' pitch chain, you can grind every other tooth off and use your skip tooth providing it has an even number of teeth. I did it with a Bendiix automatic and it works great.

How INGENIOUS!!

I will keep that in mind..... for now the MOrrow seems to be working very well.
