  • Arh yes. I remember that Scott. Cool replacement.
    Now I feel bad for dissing the rack :)

  • Thank you, happy about it too. No problem about dissing the rack :)

  • Tektro canti's were great

    Controversial

  • I should probably point out they were TRP EuroX.

    Edit: so not that great but they looked cool. 😆

  • looked cool

    Points there. I love how my CX-70's look

  • That Sweet pea is 👌

  • Old school mountainbikes are the best. Would really like a Rockhopper.

  • Yeah, it's lovely. Made all the better by the fact it's actually my dad's bike from the late 80s

  • Nice bikes from Cycles Rouge Gorge

  • Flat bar’d the pack rat. Rides well. Plans afoot for 1x and then mudguards back on for winter.

  • Love it, keep it 2x.

  • I’m on the fence. It’s a bit overgeared for the type of riding I realistically do on it. A smaller outer chainring would sort that, but I have the parts for an 11speed deore 1x setup with a downtube shifter. In my mind it would be simpler, but I’m not really sure that is the case.

  • My daily

    (to be fair I only had the Carradice on because I had to bring it from A to B)

  • So cool. Was it easy enough to fit the backpedal brake to that frame? Did you have to build a custom rear wheel? Always wanted a retro mtb but could never really justify it, after seeing this I'm wondering if I replace my opafiets with something like yours.

  • Perfect.

  • Thanks!

    Installing a coaster brake is pretty easy I'd say. I used a Shimano CB-E110 coaster hub, which has 110 mm spacing. You can take the hub apart pretty easily and add spacers to make it fit a frame up to 130 mm rear spacing without having to change the whole axle for a longer one (changing the whole axle is not very hard, the hard thing is finding a longer axle).

    Anyway, for this build I chose to space out the wheel symmetrically, because it seemed easier at the time. However, this causes the chainline to be pretty fucked, which is why I used alu spacers to bring in the chainring up front by 5 mm. I haven't measured but I'd say the chainline is pretty good right now. You could also space the hub in such a way that the chainline will be better, but then you'd have to dish the wheel to make up for the asymmetric spacing.

    Wheel specs: Dartmoor Shield 26" downhill rims, Shimano CB-E110 coaster hub on the rear and Shimano DH-C3000-3N-NT on the front, both laced with DT Swiss Alpine III spokes.

  • Bloody good. I might build a stationsfiets like this next year. Love the idea of a coaster brake retro MTB.

  • The way I like it. A very nice built. Well done!

  • Hey buurman, thanks!

    Is the pink MTB with rack that's parked elsewhere in the street yours?

  • Hey buur, no it isn't.
    Four bikes are stored in my house and my commuter is safely parked in the Balistalling (indoor-bikeparking). I think it is the cheapest parking or one of the cheapest in whole of Amsterdam. Only €7.50 a month.
    Btw, I should post some of my bikes here on the forum. Never done it ;-)
