coaster brake for my sons Haro. It has a freewheel on one side and I want to put a coaster brake on the other side, where can I get this? No one seems to have a clue in my area.

Coaster brake on one side? But freewheel on the other? Ive never heard of such a thing.
By coaster you mean pedal backwards to stop right?
Or do you want a hub that allows him to roll backwards without having to pedal backwards? Thats a [b]free[b/]coaster.
Finally flip hop hubs have cogs on both sides but you can only use one, its to allow for smaller (14t) freewheels.
Cassette Hubs and LHD are another issue altogether but I don' think your son is old enough for any of these if you need a coaster.

He's old enough but he's been acting timid lately and won't ride his bike so if I stick a coaster wheel on then I hope he gets back on it and gets more exercise.Originally posted by BMW BMXER
Gets him out of the house is what I'm trying to do.
Yes this is what I meant. i thought though there was a hub that allowed you to do both?By coaster you mean pedal backwards to stop right?Comment

To my knowledge theres no hub where you can pedal backwards sometimes and it does not brake, and pedal backwards other times and it does.
You can pick up a coaster brake at any bike shop and have him ride that around for awhile.

I think Dave just had an orgasm from the excitement of someone asking about BMXs. Next someone will ask about 350's in old Blazers and he'll throw a fit.

I'm pretty sure you have to buy a new hub with a coaster brake because the brake is built into the hub. I could be wrong though. If you had to buy new hub, you're better off with just buying a complete rear wheel. If it is just going to be a temporary thing, try to get the cheapest wheel you can find. You could try www.danscomp.com. They may not have the wheel you want but they do have the knowledge you're looking for.

They fit, damn well.Originally posted by Mystikal
A problem you may find is that coaster hubs may only come in 16 spoke. For little wheels.

If it gets him out of the housw and away from the damn tv I'll be happy. I just don't want him to end up like alot of todays Youth that are overweight and lazy.Comment

Ehhh only Race bikes run V brakes. And Mountain bikes, although lots of MTBS now have disc brakes (I work at a sports store, sport chek, and even out 499 bikes have disc brakes).Originally posted by Spaz
As for the blazer thing. 350 small blocks fit in both s-10s and blazers (2nd gen) for modification purposes regarding suspension I would chose a 2wd. It's my attainable dream vehicle, leave me be.
How old is your son?

ahh i got 990's in the rear only :PComment

I have Odyssey Evolvers in the rear only. They are the same style brake as 990s, but super easy to work on.
Oh Jay, if he asked about Transformers, BMX, and Blazers in one thread I would be a happy boy :D

you would need to get a new hub..... it would not be worth it is lace the hub into the old wheel.... most likly it is an alex single wall wheel.
go to a garage sale and find a bike with coaster brakes and take the back wheel off of it and put it on the haro..... make sure it hs a 3/8th axle... (i think your haro does)
or a bike shopComment
