In memory of KCvale 1959 - 2019
Depends on what your front brake is.so a coaster brake and a front brake is enough? My concern is the coaster brake.
Disc is awesome, V's acceptable for sure.
Our shorthand for C-brakes are calipers that have one mount where a fender mounts.
V-brakes are 2 independent arms that pivot on posts on the frame called 'Brake bosses' and better brakes.
Depending on what you have in front a Coaster back pedal brake in the rear is usually fine.
You can always add a C brake to the back too and I do that myself on bikes with more power than just a coaster rear can stop in a hurry, and that's what it is all about...
You MUST be able to stop as fast as you can go.
If you can't, well, suffice it to say the ending is never friendly, I have the scars and pain to prove it.
