Exactly! BTW, What gearing are you running on your bike?

I will be using the bike for neighborhood cruising with the fam, canal road and local single track. I live in S.Florida. Everything is flat here, absolutely no hills at all. I've been using my SE OM Flyer for trail riding. It does well. I love the looks I get from people on $1k+ MTN bikes...

I just like the simplicity of a coaster brake. All my other bikes are freewheel. I was looking at a Shimano rear hub. Any good, or should I look elsewhere? https://www.amazon.com/Shimano-Coaster-Brake-Cb-E110-Without/dp/B00629SVCC#aw-udpv3-customer-reviews_feature_div

I would really like to throw a coaster brake on. I'm 200lbs. Will a coaster be able to handle my weight?

Is freewheel a better a way to go than a coaster brake? What about the stem?

I've decided to go SS, BMX stem and bars. I'm a total noob, but very mechanically inclined. I have bars, but what would you recommend for a front and rear hub, cog, and stem. Thanks.

How often do you have to repack the grease or rebuild a coaster brake?

I'm guessing that coaster brakes don't do well on a downhill bike?

Why did you choose to go with a free wheel instead of a coaster brake? Just curious.

How much shipped?

Should I make this bike a single speed klunker? Thoughts?

Yes, I am looking to klunk. Funds are limited at the moment. My wife needs a root canal. 😫😭

I'll check the free wheel, but I have absolutely no bike parts. I just got back into bikes after umpteen years back in August of last year.

Well...... I tried a shimano 6 speed index thumbshifter. No go. It skips gears and shifts worse than the gripshifter. I'm going to return it and get a friction thumb shifter. Who makes a good friction shifter?

So I should look for a mid 90s era thumb shifter?

Would this thumb shifter work? Or would you recommend something else...

I'm gonna go for a spin on the bike when I get home from work. With the acquisition of this bike, I feel like I've joined the club.

I had friction shifters on my old Benotto road bike. Never had a problem. Would a thumb index shifter even work on an older bike like this?

Thanks for your insight on the bike. I had no idea what year it was made. It was made in Taiwan. I haven't decided what I want the bike to be yet. I have Chrome BMX bars with a 6" rise that I took off of my SE OM flyer That I could throw on there for now, Although I kind of like the stock...
