I originally wanted to put a brake on the front of my cruiser incase my coaster brake failed on me but I was talking to a friend about the front and having it lock up and going over the handlebars with the sidepull front brake.It would be nice to have the front so I can stop fast but what if I run into the coaster failing and I need to stop going 30 with the front? Can someone chime in and throw suggestions out if I should put it on the front and not have issues with eating it ?
