I live for the CABE
I have a couple nexus wheels I have picked up over the past couple years, a 3 speed hub with a coaster brake, and one without a brake. I was going to put the one with a coaster brake on a shelby frame when I found out that the measurements for the rear dropout on the schwinn frame (the one the wheel originally came off of) is 5.25 inches, while the shelby is 4.5 inches. I could "cold set" the shelby frame to accommodate the nexus wheel, but I would prefer not to alter the frame as I want to keep it where I can transition back and forth between a new departure and the nexus wheel. Has anyone here worked through this issue, and if so how did you work out the problem? Do I need to look at another wheel? Is it possible to move the brake assemble to the outside of the frame (this would buy me the room I need). Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ken
