I WOULD NOT use one of these hubs, from any manufacturer, new or old stock without a front brake. They are likely to burn out at high speeds with the momentum of an adult.
I recall reading one members long and very informative discourse on coaster brake hubs from a while back. Maybe he could repost (or send it to me and I'll put up a page on our site to link to). Ireally enjoyed reading it, and it answered a lot of questions I had.
I can't really agree with that concern because me and one of my buddies have both ridden the snot out of 8sp nexus coasters and 3sp sturmey archer caoster and I tip the scale at about 215 but I wouldn't recommend riding super fast I do see the risk of burned shoes but I geared my wifes so low it wold be very hard for here to acheive more than 20 - 25mph and she weighs about 120 # so ya know you take risk
