40 hole Coaster Brake!!
I'm looking for a 3 speed coaster brake that has a 40 hole spoke count, I've been told about Sturmey Archer S3C but it's difficult to find, is their any other models I can use?
Thanks!
Daniel.

The older Sturmey TCW is an alternative although they were considered dangerous since the brake mech could fail if you hit a false neutral with the gears.
The TCW came in a few versions...I have a MKIII that gives me no problems but I use a front brake just to be safe.

Yeah I did research the TCW model and it kinda worried me, but I won't know until I try so I'll give them a shot!
Thanks!

I might have a 36 hole Raleigh rim in the basement if that would make your life easier.

One of those ads says it's from a 20" bike, but really does the original wheel size matter if you're putting the hub into a new wheel??

I don't think so, as long as the spoke count match up it should be fine. I could be wrong.

Well that certainly goes without saying. Despite living in Iowa, it is certainly NOT the Dutch Low Country/pancake land that an 18 tooth rear cog seems to be meant for! 21 has been the first step in what I've done on my other bikes.
