Coaster brake hub to fixed gear
question for anyone out there with some info,
we're sitting in the bike shop and customer wants to fix his coaster brake hub into a fixed gear. is there any way to do this? looking for a cheap and affordable way and its not for riding but for a seperate cause - any info would be great, thanks.

I don't think it can be done, except for welding the cog to the hub. I was thinking of doing the same and took apart the coaster brake and then gave up.

yea we got it, a little grinding on the brake and some JB weld did it the justice we needed.
its for this guys grandson i believe, he has cerebral paulsy and they want a fixie bike so they can push him on it and get him some exercise. w00t, fixie FTW
hopefully it works after the whole JB weld process.
