Almost ready to break-in my 4 stroke after riding about 4 miles for a virgin ride with coaster brakes only. Ran out of gas on the ride & sheared the key on the free wheel. Got this fixed & runs like a dream now.
I'm running a Schwinn Jag I got last summer from a "big box" store. Because of the weight put 12 ga/2.125 tires on front/back. Have a coaster brake on the back & took off the stock brakes on the back. The front has the stock brakes still installed...but not wired up. The new wheels are wider than the stock 14 ga which came with the bike.
The problem is that it's looking like I'm not going to be able to run with the stock brakes since the wheel is too wide to get proper spacing. Want to run a drum brake...but without the almost $100 extra I need for the front Huffy wheel...I want to get these front brakes running if any way possible.
Anyone have any suggestions on using these or purchasing another set for about $20 or less with a web site which will work for my MB? Not sure which type of brakes I have...but have included pictures to help you.
