    Fat tire, narrow rim

    A lot depends on bead and sidewall construction of the tire , and the profile / bead seat area of the rim. So there is no direct answer. The safe , general advice that I frequently read is that the ratio of max tire width to rim width is 3 to 1 .

    Nexus 3-speed coaster: spring?

    I think that you would savor the wide range brake modulation, and brute strength of the Bendix Automatic Red Band 2 speed kickback. I run one on my Roadster , 18 T cog , 26" wheel w/big tire. The chainwheel is around 44 or 46 T .

    Bendix RB2: splined cog?

    So, it looks like the brake arms of the RB and the RB2 are interchangeable. You have a switch-a-roony. https://sheldonbrown.com/sutherland/CB-IGH-2-bendix.pdf

    An idea on the D stickers ; they cover the screws that hold the tank halves on. I found round magnets , with a hole in the middle , that are sized like flat washers. I plan to put the stickers on the magnets. The hole will span the screw heads. Removable, to work on tank. Search "magnet rings" .
