Tandem multi-speed coaster brake conversion
« on: February 06, 2017, 11:09:59 AM »
Has anyone here ever laced one of these new multi speed hubs into a tandem wheel. My question is are the brakes strong enough to stop this much weight?

Thanks so much guys. We have red Twinn now that's a five speed but I like my middle weights. I found a coppertone single speed but it's kinda pricey so I may have to wait til I stumble across another one. The one we have now is the 4th one we've had but it's got the most use out of any of them.
