A girl I vaguely know here in the US has been using one (along with a front brake) on a SS bike - she found it ok on the hills of SF, but advises that it's best to repack the internals with 'disc brake grease' for increased longevity. She rates the Velosteel coaster brake a lot more highly than the Shimano one.
