I would trust them if you build them right, the only problem I've ever had with a coaster brakes was something that was my fault.... I didn't use high temp grease and all the grease burnt up, this caused my bearings to blow out with my axle

Got wheel on bike and my chain tensioner fell into my spokes, luckily (better than not) my wheel locked up when it did so it didn't bend anything

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...

I've done it, makes a great setup.

I'll have to remember that

Might try boring out the center of sprocket. The brake arm has nothing to do with it since it wasn't even on the wheel lol

If the brake anchor was not on this could make the wheel lock up.

The wheel was never mounted, the axle itself would not move. I got it fixed now though

What was wrong axel adjusted to tight?

The sprocket was sandwiched onto the dust cover so tight it locked up that side of the bearings....
