This is the Mone. I spent a couple years on a modified Shimano (longer axle, chamfered brake shoes), and it was great. But the Mone is a whole lot nicer. It’s a really high quality bit of a kit.

But I like to back pedal through the turn?
nobody said you can’t do that
you’re just going to begin slowing down

Nope
There’s float before the brake engages too, but you do you boo.
Anyway, it was so nice to get out on this bike after neglecting it for so long. Most off-road rides have required fat tires or studs for the past couple months.

i love front brake.
i would hate coaster only. but the hills are too plentiful here for that to even be an option.
i hate that kids and adults are both taught to fear their front brake. it’s a big setback when teaching adults how to mountain bike.

I 100% agree with this
I have a coaster brake on a bike I feel really comfortable riding at 12 km/h to the beach, then to the bottle-o to get some beer to put in the milk crate that’s zip tied on the back.

Can you say “bottle-o” without out pronouncing the “T’s” in it? My son in law can, he’s english. I tried but failed. I really want to use my coaster brake 2-speed auto wheel but most of my riding is commuting, and coaster just sucks commuting.

I can but I don’t. Very English pronunciation, treating interdental fricatives as glottal stops or something, don’t @ me I’m not a linguist.
