Hi!!! I got here researching the State 4130 as a base for a single speed build. Your build and videos are a big inspiration and great source of info!!! I’m thinking a build very much like yours but with a coaster brake. I’ve never ridden a fixie before. But I’m looking for that super clean no-cable look. Coincidentally I’m down in Mass. Done some biking up at Ascutney and 6 gaps. What do you think about a coaster brake build? Am I chickening out?
@@megacase I don't see it as chickening out. Depending on the type of riding you do. And the distances. Coasters are fine. If you do go with a coaster brake. You will need to know how to service them. It's not to diffucult. They have a tendancy to need bearing cone adjustments more often than a standard ball bearing hub. The State rear spacing is 120 millimeter. So you will need to get a coaster in that width. Or get the narrower 110 mm version and use a spacer. And the last thing. You can always swap out the rear wheel for playing with fixed gear. There not as hard to stop as you would think. Thanks for the comment. And have fun with your build.
