Hi all.
Pretty sure I posted when I registered and have finally gotten ready to start my first build.
Wife gave me a RAW 80cc kit for xmas, my 10 year old and I will build it using my 10 year old Electra Street Rod as a donor.
I already UTSE'd to find out about sprocket mounting on a nexus 7 speed internal, and from what I read, it didn't look encouraging. So, I'm going to get a new wheel, not just a hub...my thinking is I'd rather not use a coaster hub, and get a hand brake for the rear.
I've seen dual levers, one for clutch and one for brake...is that a hard mod to do? Would I be better off with a coaster?
My goal is to make this build as easy a humanly possible. I'm not that great a tinkerer and the 10 year old is, well...10.
So coaster or hand brake with two levers? Or is there another alternative that I haven't considered.
sorry for the long intro and asking something that's probably all over this forum if I looked closely enough.
thanks,
Mick in CT
