Okay, I own a huffy cruiser 4 stroke on 26in rims with a rear coaster brake and a major issue I find is that the bearings within the wheel always wear down to the point the rim becomes useless. My brakes have become so soft that I have to put my entire body weight (around 145-150 pounds) just to slow down at a comfortable rate. I'm tired to tinkering with the brakes and bearings that I wondered what could fix my woes. I fear for going farther then 2 miles because I feel like the brakes or bearings are going to give out on me. I've herd freewheel rims are better for the constant speed because the simple bearing system compared to coaster brakes. Would investing in a new bike with a freewheel type rims and tires stop my burning bearing woes or is it just more trouble?
By long travel I mean maybe 20 miles to my location and back.
