Ditch the cheap wally world wheels. I.M.O. the only thing worse than chinese quality is the metalurgy. The metal is brittle, soft and weak which I didn't even think was possible at the same time. If you have to go with a coaster brake go shimano or some other quality piece and pirate has sprocket adaptors for the shimano cb110. Put some front brakes on there as a back up also.

You do know Shimano products are made in China, right?

No fishguts I did not know that.
Ok let me try again. Don't buy cheap parts that for what ever reason seem come from China an over whelmingly large percent of the time. Buy time tested name brand and model products that are built from high quality materials like the cb110.

I guess it's true, You do learn something new every day
