Have been putting a lot of miles on my fyxation pixel and have fallen in love with it. It’s currently set up to freewheel. I’ve tried fixed but it’s just not for me. In the pursuit of simplification I’d love to try out a coaster brake setup. Was just curious if anyone had any advice/recommendations for specific parts or brands, etc. for this type of conversion. Any and all help is greatly appreciated!

Ride it as it is. Don’t try to look like you’re riding fixed, you won’t fool anyone
Edit: I don’t want to come off as rude but it’s just not a good idea.
Honestly coaster hub is my favorite compared to fixed and single speed. It’s internal braking system means practically no maintenance and I feel it’s a lot safer to fixed because you can coast. It is also surprisingly good in the rain as long as you have good treds. At the beginning it might feel a little odd but it felt natural to me in about a week. Definitely recommend
