Build a Suicide Brake

[CPC Cycles]

I want to build a suicide brake for my bike...

has anyone done this before?

oh this is one of my bikes that I have done, this is my daily rider

CPC,A suicide brake to me is riding/sliding/crashing into something real hard.

Its not how fast ya go,but how fast ya stop that hurts.

mount a coaster brake on the rear wheel and make a brake lever and mount it on the frame! It oughta be pretty simple, but nothing ever is

easiest way probably is to mount a stick shifter from a muscle bike and connect it to a brake.

wasnt there a post about somebody puttin a coaster brake on the front wheel and makin it hand operated with a lever :?: , a coaster on the front sounds like suicide to me :!:

Here is one that Fasteddie did, A little different concept. But just add an extention like vicxsan talked about to the coaster arm.

I was wondering the same thing, but without using some sort of caliper set up like a bmx bike with a cable, I dont think you can do it.
THe set up that fast eddie had isnt really practical for a daily rider cause you cant pedal it.

If you just extend the brake arm, you need to keep the arm from slapping back if you ever backpedaled. That could be painful, it could take out one of your boys.

I saw one on Flickr a while back. Finally found it again tonight.
