Back in the day I had an ACS free coaster that you could switch on and off

This mentions a couple other brands and even a picture of the exact set up I had. Skyway wheels with freecoaster conversion.

Re: swapping levers on my bicycle

go brakeless and **** a coaster brake, what are you 7 years old? I kid I kid.

but seriously... nix the whole coaster brake idea. go for a free coaster hub if you don't do a cassette hub.

and i suppose if you're running front and rear brakes, it makes sense to set it up like your big bike.

******* love it. Had that set-up on my last "Bully" (if that tells you anything) LOL. Didn't like the coaster brake, had the freewheel gear to keep the cranks from turning. I now weigh about 225, so I always sported 95 spoke rims (originally ordered them from a company that makes gangster low-rider rims) because I bent the living **** out of 48's and I have a strong taste for wrecking.

it's all about the 36's, finesse, and not wrecking.
