I've posted this before but it is finally completely done / in its final form and I found this pic on my camera from yesterday, must have taken it on accident, so here it is!

How are you liking the Nexus 8? I was thinking of going with the coaster brake version on my 1953 Schwinn Panther. Do you have the roller brake version or did you convert to discs?

Can’t speak for him, but I absolutely love my Nexus 8 with coaster brake. My wife loves hers too. IMHO, perfection.

I like it quite a bit. It is a little bit sensitive to adjustments. Right now it slips in 5th, so I skip to 6th, but before it was skipping in 5th, 6th, and 7th before I cleaned the cassette and tightened the axle nuts a little bit. I'm pretty sure I just need to take the wheel off again and tighten the axle nuts just a tiny bit more and it'll have fixed the problem.

It is a roller brake. I wanted drum brakes front and back.

How is the brake? My options are drums, coaster, or roller. I’m about to pull the trigger on a set of Ukai hoops so I need to decide on hubs. I was looking at drums with a 5speed freewheel, but not sure about how well they stop.

It's the only brake of this type I've ever had but it works as good as anything. It stops fine.

With drum brakes front and back you do want to make sure you have levers designed specifically for drum brakes.
