I have a huffy 26" beach cruiser with coaster brakes. I want to change from coaster to freewheel using the same rims. Can I use this?

If your rear hub is threaded and you had spacers to align the freewheel to the front chainring it would work, but it would also have to be the same thread, so you'd have to measure the diameter.

I purchased new tires for my wife's Schwinn Beach Cruiser but they were the 26" x 2.125 and they were a perfect fit for the wide rims. I would also suggest getting new tubes.

Yes, that is how my bike is set up. Fixed cog on right, free wheel on left, or vice versa, depending on how you want to ride. Good luck

I am sorry but this is a 26 inch set up, so I'm afraid it won't work for your bike. The diameter is slightly larger so the brakes won't line up with the rim

Yes, just find the same arbor sized accessory wheel at 6" diameter and you're set. Keep in mind it's not variable speed so you're stuck at 1 speed...albeat a awesome-fast/smooth speed.

To my knowledge, the only way that I know of to upgrade to a 6-speed freewheel without serious modifications would be to use a Suntour Ultra-6, which I use on my (now) 12-speed vintage, and have had no problems. A 7-speed would be too large (wide) for this hub as well as too wide for standard vintage dropouts. Hope this helps

This one dose not have the coaster brake . There is a coaster brake version if you want one.

It will accept a freewheel but not a cassette. The rims are double-wall aluminum. Beware shipping damage.

I agree with SPC. While I don't have disc brakes on any of my bikes, I don't see why it wouldn't work. There are two "pincers" to the rear frame and there seems to be some limited top/bottom - forward/rear adjustment to the frame anchor points.

I just put it on my wife'd Electra Beach Cruiser and it doesn't work. The wheels wont touch the ground. She weights only 105 lbs but I wont let her try it as the bike would lean and fall. Unless the one I received is defective, I wouldn't recommend to put it on a 26" bike.

It should fit. The back of the beach cruiser is like my mountain bike. I had no problem putting on my mountain bike with disc brakes. The attachment that comes with seat allows you to adjust for the height and position.

yes, i have a fixed 16 on one side and a free wheel 16 on the other. i seldom use the fixed side but it is there if i need it and it takes 5 minutes to flop the wheel around, guess that is why they call it a flip/flop.

None! If the rim is new and has no freewheel installed, a new freewheel spins right onto the threaded hub. One DOES need a special tool to get a freewheel OFF the hub, however.

Yes it will provided if the rack fits. I bought it for my beach cruiser with coaster breaks I installed wheels first. It fitthe wheels but did not fit the frame. Ended up using it on another bike (my answer is not helping). What will help is that I answered a similar question and decided that photographs with measurements would work best. Look at the product pictures. Mine are the ones that features a brown bike and yard stick.

If you will notice in the description it says "36H" this means that it has 36 spoke holes total on both flanges (18 holes on each). As a result you would need to get a 29" rim with a 36 hole pattern to fit this hub. I am not sure what you mean by "29" beach cruiser" most beach cruisers have a 26" fat tire rim with a 36 spoke hub coaster brake. Older bicycles sometimes had more spokes in the rear wheel but usually had 28 or 32 in the front wheel. I must admit I have never come across a 48 spoke wheel, I have come across a 42 spoke wheel occasionally on "English roadster" style bicycles but usually these are 3 speed hubs on a 26" × 1 3/8" rim.

As others have said this has no freewheel. If it's serviceable, you can reuse your old freewheel. But special tools are required to remove a freewheel. Weigh the cost of these tools against either purchasing a new freewheel or having a bike shop extract the old one.
