Out of curiosity, how do you think it compares to the Bendix red band? I'm asking because I just built up a single speed with an old red band that I've had forever. I'm enjoying the bike, but braking power leaves much to be desired.
Is there a good technical reason why I might expect the CB-E110 to behave differently? The both seem to have the same basic operating principle. I'd love to see them taken apart, side by side. I'm not averse to adding hand brakes, but might as well learn what I can about the coaster.
