stupid teen as i was, experimented, to test the theory "mass vs speed/ with gravity...as the control factor"
hit 43 mph and chicken'd out..... but I wasn't done...
added a 30# sandbag to rear rack, and with my 260# body, hit 63 mph..(verified by my pal I was following down hill who was driving his car). before chickening out again, and hitting rear coaster brake....(it was my heavy old Murrey, which I trusted, as it was 10x stronger, and didn't have rubber brake pads like my $$$ C.Itoh 10 speed...)
note to self;
bad, really bad, stupid idea....
when a coaster 'brake' welds up solid in the hub... at about 40 mph, after it did it's best to 'scrub' off speed... a bicycle wheel turns into a taco, and will... without any care, throw you on the ground.... the 'braking effect' of 2 teenage forearms far excedes anything you can imagine.. and the 'skin skidmarks/ scars" will be the reminder... ow, omg, OWeeee..
