Can you run a freecoaster without a coasterbrake arm? I`m not going to use the coaster brake. I have coasterbrake tuffs and I need freewheel on it. I can`t change the hub, I won`t! I tried to use the "un-brake" but it only works on bendix, I have suntour. Any ideas? Otherwise my project is a waste.

i think you should be fine.... just remember.
DO NOT LOCK IT UP TO COASTER MODE

why not work a trade with someone?

Not with these hubs.

i mean trade a rear tuff with someone. what color and era? maybe someone has a freewheel one of the same color and era to trade.

Not like this one. I was kinda saving this untill the BBQ.

Dang, that's pretty Lou! I see a upcoming trend brewing...

There is a lot of work there. Almost two hours to do both wheels.

Lou, post that pic in the "VintageBMX talk" section for everyone to see. Awesome man, the final build should be sick!

dude, build a coasterbrake freestyler. you will be ruining the tuffs by converting that coaster to freewheel, imo.

Lou, If you want to repeat that process, I have an nos freewheel hub kit.


*HK*

ps that tuff looks great.

Google search freecoasters, there is an exploded Coasterbrake diagram out there with instructions on how to freecoaster the wheel. Its all about replacing the internal brake pads with washers. Late,

oof.. at least you didn't use gold. I could see myself falling for a set of "old school graphites" on e-bay (if they were black tuffs).

Looks good though.
