front suicide coaster brake question

[kmullinex]

I want to run a coaster brake hub on my Higgins front springer forks. What coaster brake hub can I use? The standard hubs are too wide. Thanks. Mullz

You will need to spread the forks. Most coasters are 130 mm wide and fronts are typically 100 mm. There are some links in the How-To Manual.

Thanks. Appreciate the help. I'll search through.

you could replace the thick lock nuts with thin ones, that could help with spreading the fork.
