I just do not get it. How to install the sprocket on a Schwinn Del Mar with a coaster brake. I have seen posts that say to enlarge the ID hole in the sprocket, but for me the inside and outside rubber between the spokes will move the sprocket towards the brake arm and defeat the pupose of opening of the ID hole in the sprocket.
I am inclined to buy a normal 5 speed freewheel and mount it on the bike and install caliper brakes. I did my first install on a 5 speed cruiser and had no problems with the sprocket install. Can I use my existing single speed front crank and existing chain and just plop it on a gear that fits, without any derailler ?
Maybe I should find another bike.....
Any suggests dudes ?
