Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

koster bracces

so my gf has an old coaster setup 700c rear, and i've been thinking about slapping it on my old frame.
the problem is, i don't know jack***** about coaster brakes. what are the quality vintage ones? what are the quality newer ones? how do they work? anything you've got will be helpful.
