[QUOTE=rc50;13555212]Hi hope all are doing great... I have a 1965 Schwinn Typhoon build to have only a rear coaster brake... I have found that 700 x 32c tires, wheels will fit this frame.... I want to add a rear side pull brake.... My question is... is the bracket over the rear wheel that held the fender stronger enough for me to adapt a side pull brake to it..?

thanks a ton for any and all help


I don't mean to rain on your parade, but when change wheel sizes, ie: 26" to 27" (27" roughly = to 700c) you change the geometry of the bike making it difficult or dangerous to ride unle you change the trail of the fork.
