Coaster to Fixed?

[soundz]

Is it possible to convert a coaster brake hub to a fixed gear hub? If so, how? Any links you can point me to?

A quick Google came up with a bunch of JB weld or shoving pieces of wood in the hub. From this information, I'd say a new hub/wheel...

I think you are out of luck, a fixed rear wheel is cheap and messing with a coaster brake hub to make it fixed probably isn't worth your time.

You could try weld the driver to the hub through the brake side. Might not survive it, though. And it would be super hard to grease if you needed to.

edit, nvm, you could grease it pretty easily. Still, would not be the easiest thing, considering how cheap a simple fixie hub is.

Thanks guys I ended up pouring a bunch of molten lead into the hub. It's a bit heavy but perfect for training!
