Well, it's *possible*, if you have a fully-equipped machine shop and a couple months of spare time. Both the internals and the external shell are different between the coaster-brake and the roller-brake version. Here's an exploded view of the coaster-brake version: http://tinyurl.com/35fnax and here's one for the roller-brake version: http://tinyurl.com/32r5lu It would be *far* easier and cheaper to simply buy a roller-brake hub.

I question why you'd even want to-- the Shimano roller brake is a mushy, fade-prone piece of junk that will let you down when you need it most. It would be much easier (though I have not done it myself) to disable the coaster brake and install a rim brake. What's your problem with the coaster brake anyway? Chalo |
