• Thank you this is v helpful!

    I went to the LBS today for a talk about it and they got the callipers out, turns out the sc2 and sc1 have the same shell so they feel pretty confident using the same spokes and all, and said they’d just charge for the labour if I bought the hub in (they couldn’t get the hub)

    I feel this might be the most cost effective way of doing it, £100 or so (still refuse to build wheels)

    Your story of the Sachs hub is reassuring, as well as stories from other friends, and I suppose all the Dutch coaster bikes out there.

  • Have 2 cb-e110, neither opened much skidding and arrogant riding achieved. Would not stress it. Also have a Sachs/Sram 3 and its fine but not as good at locking up as the Shimano in my experience. the cheap ones are really shit though, have 4 wheels with completely trashed hubs in the basement waiting to go to the recycling.
