Singlespeed Cruiser: Coaster Brake Build

Coaster brakes are also known as backpedal brakes, the braking is applied by rotating the pedals in reverse until the brake engages. Hate it or love it, there's no need to install brake lever or shifters on the handlebars.
Vertical dropouts without tensioner? Check out the half link.
The chainring is 38t and the sprocket is 18t, therefore, the gear ratio is 2.11.

One of the most original, diy hardcore things I have seen! Thank you for sharing! I want to build one now.

[@edwardallan197]

I bet he ended up LOVING this build.

[@edwardallan197]

This is so great..... right behind you! Puttin an alloy 27 CB on an old lite lugged Bianchi frame. Thumbs up Sahib!

[@markhodges7240]

Love this. Bike building should be about creating weird shit that the marketing department would veto in a second. I also love that you have the same cheap ass truing stand I have. Perhaps we also suffer from the same kind of mental derangement.

[@Felix24148]

This gave me exactly the information I needed to build an MTB Klunker!

[@Hazball]

Noo, showed such detail on the chain install, but I want to see the hub transfer! Would love to know how you removed and installed the coaster hub. Need this.

[@jaz2relaklaang586]

Nice work...so simple..no cables attached👍👍👍👍

[@aarondonally8153]

such a clean build man

[@burundi8909]

Awesome love how you took it off a kids bike....how is the hub holding up ?

[@AK-ic1yj]

How to get a perfectly straight chainline with a single speed coaster brake?

[@Cobwobbler]

That’s a tidy looking bike.

[@mikel4526]

What is the best coaster brake/rim? I hate cables and I am proud of it. I have zero tolerance for bike clutter.

[@As2ronaut]

There is only one problem, the width of the hub is smaller, so the axle will bend in a short time, and the bearings will fall apart.

[@nbatsakis]

Great video. Do you need to beef up the spokes to handle the added torque from braking?

[@DanyoSports]

Thanks, no, I think the spokes are fine with the coaster brake.

[@grupposoleblufranto7971]

Hello to the mountain bike but I want to change it to freewheel Fixie what do I need

[@rbbiefah]

So how do you keep tension on the chain ?( It will stretch and come off leaving you with no brakes)

[@edwardallan197]

They don't even try to come off if only small slack, and stretch is gradual. The back pedal force light, the brake powerful. I run redundant hand brake for long downhills. They can get hot. Crazy reliable.

[@rbbiefah]

@@edwardallan197 4:09?

[@edwardallan197]

@@rbbiefah There is no spring loaded deraileur arm. So, the chain is JUST long enuff to loosely fit. Not enuff slack to climb off gears, and nothing to push the chain off the gears.

[@rbbiefah]

@@edwardallan197 is that exact fit due to the half link shown at 4:09?

[@grits_taste_good415]

Have you made a video about belt bikes?

[@DanyoSports]

No, I haven’t made one.

[@_Habil_]

if you hit the brake harder, the bike will stop better, it may even slide to a stop.

[@carlwain7372]

Awesome build dude 👏 👌 What stem is it cheers ?

[@Pomar6]

Será se teria como colocar esse tipo de freio em um quadro aro 29

[@SokemRokemRobot]

Whatever you do, don't take the gloves off (4:11).

[@terencecasipong8925]

Is this Safe?

[@mikel4526]

Get a third booster.

[@kspr69]

No this is not safe. The chain is not tensioned enough and will become more loose over time as it wears. The untensioned chain will drop at some time, and without a chain there is no brake. Been there. But, nothing more fun than to ride my coaster brake cyclocross bike on the MTB trails.

Genial from Lima-Peru
