I have a shimano CB-e110 and it works with the sprocket off but when I put it on its locked up. Sure I messed something up putting it on but can't figure it out suggestions?
 
Sometimes you'll have to bent the brake arm to clear, I've also had to open up the center of the sprocket to clear the dust seal.
 
no brake arm? cool.

you probably wont be posting on here for much longer as you may DIE after the axle lets go, and either locks up solid or falls apart. been there, done that...the brake arm really does need to be attached...and held from rotating.

maybe i exaggerate a little but seriously... you cannot take the arm off or leave them unsecured to the stay. they usually wind up and lock on hard, unexpectedly.

the sprocket usually needs a bigger hole, and the outer rubber on the rag joint needs to be a bit thinner, but otherwise, they have worked for me...
 
I read that and was hoping he had not got to the point of putting the arm back on. Surely he didn't try to ride it without the brake arm. Frankfort if you do get a group of friends around with video cameras and yell " hey y'all watch this " you might win ten thousand dollars from funny videos to help with medical bills!
 
tbh, i think the whole rear wheel locking up danger is blown out of proportion; while changing my rear sprocket (36 to 44) and aligning the wheel again, I had the wheel lock up a number of times at 20 mph+ and there is no danger other than a bit of a fast slow down. The reason it is harder for me to get a proper alignment is that I have an imperfect tilt to my engine at about 5-10 degrees causing the chain to slip from both the drive sprocket and rear sprocket, which I fix with two chain tensioners.

the real danger is the front wheel. if that locks up you are f$@%ed hard. your bike will flip and you might hit your head on the pavement depending on how tall you are. either way you are guarentee to crash.

frankfort mb, im sure u get it to work with the coaster brake or if not you can maybe fabricate a rim brake mount and get a rim brake.

I'll end up doing something like this. I've heard a lot of good things from the CB-e110 coaster for a MB...

Yeah I've tried that on another bike... Not good, on this wheel i could just spin the axle in my hand and it would just thread the axle out of the clutch for the brake. I was hitting the dust shield and with all that pressure it would just lock up the left side bearings. I'll figure it out thanks
 
man, now i want to try sticking a coaster brake in the front forks!

run a length of chain up the top, with some type of lever and pull back spring. sure it would work! just like rod brakes but sort of more DIY :)


pffft, who cares about practicality?

actually...waterproof, virtually no maintenance, maybe its not so stupid...
