S/A X-FD Brake Hub,
By foxdog (San Diego Ca.) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Sturmey Archer X-FD Front Drum Hub 36h, Silver (Misc.)
I decided to motorize my felt cruiser (this bike comes with coaster brakes only). In doing so I found more braking power was needed for smooth consistent stops. Doing a little research on the web I found that the Sturmey Archer front drum brake hub (70mm version) was the same size hub as the one on the bike. I had the drum professionaly laced in the wheel at the local bike shop for 20 bucks. I mounted the wheel, brake lever and cable and made the adjustments. Took the bike for a short ride to test the brakes. WHAT A DIFFERENCE! I can now stop in about half the distance it use to take me to stop using the front brake alone. Using both I have crazy stopping power. Well worth the 60 dollars for the hub, the 20 dollars for the wheel lacing and the time to install everthing. Excellent product. Worth every penny.
