Ok I have a few questind fellas. I'm interested in switching over my current coaster brakingsystem to disc brakes. I'll be the first to admit my experience with either system is limited, thus the point of my plea for some input. I personally hate coaster brakes but having them on this bike didn't prevent me from picking the bike for the build, mainly because I thought switching over to disc brakes wouldn't be to difficult. Little did I know there isn't much info on the web about disabling the coaster brakes but I figured I could depend on this forum for what I need. So question #1 is how in the hell do you disable the coaster brakes?!? Secondly I'd like to know if the items I'm interested in purchasing off of eBay will be all I need or am I missing any. I have a Beach Cruiser & obviously it wasn't made to fit disc brakes but the adaptors I'm looking at should make it work...... right?? So here's the pics of the items for the disc brake kit. Any advice is appreciated!
Also I'd like to buy one of those dual brake/clutch levers, does anyone know a link or know of a site where a quality lever can be bought for a decent price? My wife is hounding me over spending on "yet another project", lol. Thanks fellas!!
