Hey all,
I'm currently making a ride from a WCC Jesse James 20" bike and am hitting a wall when it comes to brakes..
As you may or may not know, this bike comes with coaster brakes, and no posts or options for any other kind. Ideally I'd love to make it a freewheel and have V brakes or something, but i'm open to other suggestions.
I looked at the coaster to drum conversion in the How To manual here and although it seems like a neat idea, it seems a little beyond what I can do due to the welding, and right now my budget isnt really allowing me to send something out to be welded..
Are there any of you that have added brakes to this frame in a DIY weld free way, or can offer suggestions as to what might work?
