If you remove the coaster brake arm, will it just be a freewheel?
The reason I ask, is that I'm interested in buying a 3 speed hub. Probably a Shimano Inter 3 speed hub (Shimano SG-3C41). I looked into S/A hubs but they're pretty expensive, and most are old. The shimano hub has a coaster brake. I don't want a coaster brake. If I simply remove the coaster brake arm, will that leave me with a free wheel? will I be able to pedal backwards, for instance, like on a normal geared-bike?
