Shimano Coaster Brake
Where can I buy a Shimano Coaster brake from. I know Amazon has it, however, they list the hub and the trim kit from different suppliers. I would also like to get a Chrome Moly axle and perhaps some different sprockets and get them from one source.
I checked out PorkChopBMX and was surprised they didn't have it. Only the rebuild kit. I am not that familiar with other BMX or beach cruiser suppliers.
Do you guys have some recommendations? I know you do, that is why I am here.

Ok, good one. I was only thinking online to save $$. As much as I want to keep these guys in business and I hate it when I see a shop close, my last encounter like this was for a Greenfield kickstand that took two weeks to come in an cost twice what I would have paid online. However, I may take your suggestion anyway and give it another try.
