I've decided that I'm not strong enough to go fixed-gear but still wanna have a clean sleek riding machine. My solution? Coaster brake! The below links you to one I think would be suitable:

The specs are confusing though, how do I know the size? I can't find KT's website and I have no idea what "gauge" is. The site also has a spacer kit that presumably provides spacers, so do I still need to get an axle that will fit my 130mm rear-spacing?

And, the biggie...My rear dropouts are vertical. Will a coaster brake keep tension? It has an arm on the left side that clips to the chainstay to give it something to "push" against when braking, but its only attached on the non-drive side.

Anyone have any experience? (yes I searched, nothing *specific* about coaster brakes, I got the web link above from one of the threads however)
