I’ve bought one of the Konga yokes that Hulsroy has used for his mtb in preparation for building frame no2.
I did think my next frame might be a mini velo and I could still do that with this yoke but I think putting it in a mtb frame might be a better use.
I’ve been missing having a coaster brake mtb so last week I stripped the commuter parts off my 1x1 and started doing a bit of klunker build on it but I think I’d be better building something specifically to use with a coaster.
Narrow rear end, my preferred Shimano coaster hub is 110mm oln as standard but I might go for 120mm so it could accommodate a fixed rear wheel if the notion took me.
Brazed on anchor point for the brake arm.
Double top tube.
Slack head angle, probably just a straight 1 1/8” headtube, don’t need to go tapered or anything.
