Coaster brake hub modifying?

[barnbikes]

Has anybody tried to expand a coaster brake hub?

Newest project is a Nascar race tire on the back of a chopper. Atomic inspired but with car rim on back so I can change look of bike by just bolting on a different rim.

I need to make a 13" coast brake hub to clear the wheel. I want a rear brake to keep front end cleaner.

If I can not figure out the wider coaster brake I might go with a rear disk but would prefer the cleaner look.

:? Maybe a very long axle and spacer on the brake arm side, with the arm mounting being used to help support it could work. :idea:

:shock: Is this an April fools joke? If so, you're a little late.

Just kidding!

that idea is awesome! What I wonder is will it turn?

I don't think it would be that hard to do, this is just what I was thinking. With the right combo of cones, bearings and lock nuts it could work!

I doubt that you will need a brake. The gearing and rolling resistance will not allow you to go that fast.

I know you have seen the Atomic one, but here is one that gotavan did a while ago.
