First Fixed
I picked up a Schwinn Le Tour frame (Has fork and BB). I have converted a couple mountain bikes to single speed but this is a road bike and I'd like coaster brakes. Ill need new wheels regardless so if anyone can't point me to a wheelset for a coaster brake set up I'd appreciate it, thanks.
Edit: ill still have a front brake |

Good question, correct me if I'm wrong. You read the title to this thread?

http://www.velomine.com/index.php?ma...efuvokqr329d80 It says the set on there is sold out (hence my link to a single rear wheel). I'm sure you can contact them for more info, or find a similar product elsewhere. |

Thanks for the info...I'm curious if its any more of a hassle to just get an extra brake vs going coaster. Since I have to buy wheels no matter what. Also, I want to get rims that can take a more meaty tire.

Did you do ANY research on your own, or do you expect everything to be spoon fed to you? |

OP, do you know what "fixed-gear" means? It seems like you have some confusion.

I wasn't trying to be a know-it-all. It was a sincere question. You put "first fixed" as the title, which suggested that you were getting your first fixed-gear bike. Great. I love them. Then your post talks about a coaster brake. These two things are incompatible, which is why I asked. It may be that you don't want a coaster brake at all but really want to have a fixed-gear bike, but we can't tell.
Maybe you should read this. |
