Bought a kid hauler for my tiny person + dogs. Seems ok enough so far

I have one of these on my round town lock up bike. Equal parts ugly and functional. Think it works on the tourer cause the rack hides it lol

Maybe, I have not had a chance to check

From the forum

Yeah the older ones are pretty good. I have an older on that has a lot of side to side play? But seems to be just super loose tolerance but locks up super tight for big tire skids lol

Generally use shimano cb-110 hubs. What are you swapping with bearings?also have to run a front brake here by law. I generally do to avoid the hassle but even as a bigger dude don’t have much trouble as it’s pretty flat. But I have 4 trashed velosteel hubs in the basement. Wonder if they are even worth trying to fix/practice on.

Modding coasters is also an interesting, i mostly run the Shimano ones, but have not cracked them open to fiddle with the bits. Maybe this is the place for such ideas. Also have 650B with a vintage Austrian hub that works surprisingly well. At least have not died yet lol.

Its totally fun. That build is rad .

As the title says coaster brakes only. Preferably on bikes not meant to have them, possibly used in situations leaving the rider under biked. But always there for fun to be had.

hmm will have to see, using a bb92 to threaded adapter with a threaded bottom bracket. this is a FGFS frame single speed so I guess ill find out.

Also I poked around a bit and spacer does not seem to go anywhere even if i stick something in and hammer on it. There is a little inside lip. i guess ill try going at it with a flathead or take it to the shop

Bought some press-fit to threaded adapters that the internet says will work. Bike is more or less a back up to the backup of something I would usually commute on. Maybe Some light fire-trail/dirt track stuff when I want to be extremely under biked and under braked. Current bottom bracket is making horrible noises and I am not really a fan of the BMX stuff Aesthetically on this bike

Ah ok so more or less sacrificial, not worried about preserving as I'm converting to external bb

IS it normal for this to be ALU?

Like a thin one near the bearing? Or the whole thing?

Hmm 🤔 ok worst case I can always take it to a shop but seems like it should be easier lol

YouTube says to just stick something in and hammer but can’t find anything grab. Help?

Oh damn, i have been looking for a set of these. So good.

Raising the titanic on this one aren't you?

I'm about in that range, I prefer external bb cranksets for this reason. Have had less issues with them personally. As for wheels generally 36h double wall whatever and I have been fine. But also ride silly carbon front wheels a fair bit without issues. Just running a bigger tire helps a lot. I try to stay with 28c or higher.

First day of commuting duty, its so dumb i love it

Pretty close to full dickhead 🤣

Took this on a ride through town yesterday and it was good fun. Need to switch to some long grips or a wrap for the handle bar though

Disgusting

was kind of the goal...
I have a fairly ratty white turbo thats taped together that i may switch out at somepoint
