I built this Trek cruiser as a single speed BMX style cruiser with blue rims . A Single speed rear coaster brake , with v brake front brake .

I have a couple sets of two speed kickback wheel sets that have been sitting around waiting for me to try to get use to the way they shift.

I decided to try out a set on the Trek today . With one set being silver , I thought they would look nice on the silver Trek .

Riding the bike , took a few minutes to get use to shifting , but I figured out if I mainly used my front brake when I needed to brake , the shifting didn’t give me any issues .
With a 30 tooth front chainring and a 19 tooth cog on the rear , I would spin out around 7.5-8 mph in low speed , then when I would shift , i would spin out around 12.5-13 mph in high .
I rode a couple of hills remaining in high gear and had no problem keeping my speed over 10mph .
The rear hub is a KT 2speed kickback .
I’d like to try a Sturmey Archer 2speed coaster brake hub . I’d have to find somebody to build the wheelset for me .
I’ll play around with this one awhile and see if the fascination sticks around.
I was pretty happy with single speed , and have a few sets of coaster brake wheel sets .
I know I need to do something with the front brake cable that sticks out . It should go on the left side , but my left hand is weak with arthritis leaving me with my right hand the strongest .
