Handle might be a little thin/ short for some but only because it pressed into your hand, forest flex or twist. Works well and doesn't take up much space

The product arrived on time, but when I opened the package, a bearing was out of it's casing. Hence not usable.

It was carelessly handled at some point because the left hand dust cap did not fit on a new hub. It was dented flat on one edge, as if it had been dropped onto concrete. I bent it back with needle nose pliers to make it fit on, but it didn't help. When the wheel is coasting it sounds like a car engine struggling and failing to start.I hate defective products. This was supposedly the best coaster brake made. Apparently the best means the worst now. I hate broken things. I hate brand new products that are broken and useless. I hate wasting money. I hate wasting time. I hate having to do new product repair. I hate dealing with back wheels several times a week. I hate being constantly disappointed with everything for sale on this planet. The human race is completely corrupt and cannot be depended on to even take the slightest, tiniest step toward making even mediocre quality products. Everything has to be garbage, judging by factory output over the last 15 years.I can't handle any more stress, confusion, and disappointment with coaster brake back wheels. They tend to last about 5 months. Overhauls last about 2 or 3 weeks. This product replaced a brand new warranty replacement hub that only lasted for 3 rides. How can cyclists ride their bikes with such weak, defective equipment?This product might have been counterfeit. All the counterfeiter needed to do was get the shape roughly correct, print a fake label, and stamp on a Shimano logo. I wanted a genuine, made in Japan Shimano product, not this junk.This product might have been another customer's returned item. The bag looked used. Packaging was poor. Maybe I'll learn more about coaster brake packaging since it seems I'll be constantly purchasing them. The clear plastic bags this was shipped in had gash marks on one side matching where the dust cap was dented. The seller's employee might have dropped it between the warehouse shelf and the shipping box. The disappointed previous owner might have dropped it on their garage floor before attempting installation.I had two working bikes and this spare repair kit two weeks ago. Both axles bent on the bikes and now this repair kit is wrong. So I can't ride a bike unless I spend more on faulty products. I know, maybe I can take apart the other defective parts, build a hybrid mutant version of the product I wanted, and hope for the best! Given my track record of complete failure to make 21st century bicycle wheels work, I predict the outcome will be very bad no matter how much effort and attention I apply.This stupid, stupid situation was completely preventable. All it would take is quality control, like a person looking to see if any parts were dented before shipping them out to cyclists. Perhaps, I don't know, styrofoam packaging to protect thin, easily bendable metal parts instead of two plastic bags? Styrofoam absorbs impact forces, unlike clear plastic. Businesses and manufacturers might want to look into it.Also, the axle wasn't centered correctly, so the bolt sticks out too far on the left, so my socket wrench can't fit, so I have to use a big crescent wrench, which probably will round off and slip off the nut at some point, which will scratch the paint, and then I'll hit my hand on something metal and become injured. Thanks, careless factory worker, careless counterfeiter, or careless returned product reassembler! I, the customer, am so pleased with your attention to detail!I bought a one speed bike hoping for simplicity, not "upgraded" replacement parts that don't install correctly, then work badly for 15 minutes. I hate the bicycle industry. I hate bicycles now. Manufacturers have ruined them. They were good inventions, but manufacturers and stores can't tolerate high quality ones competing with cheap ones that require constant, expensive replacement.- - -Built hybrid coaster brake from new and old parts. Didn't work. Hub grease black and burned in 4 days. Thin oil on the clutch spring and washer was very burned. Shiny metal from spring scraping against washer. Thin shard of metal injured my fingertip during disassembly. Appears to be a case of inadequate lubrication from the factory. So the factory saved four cents and I lost $20 and several days of cycling, not to mention peace of mind and trust in manufacturers.I have no idea what to do to ride a bike when working bike wheels don't exist. The only possible answer is a time machine to retrieve well made wheels from 1958.- - -Wanted to tighten bearing cone to reduce wheel play after an empty, meaningless, and disappointing ride. It turned into a long, nightmarish ordeal of frustration. Shimano (or the counterfeiter) uses smooth faced hex nuts instead of serrated lock nuts, so the nut loosened as I tightened the bearing cone. It tightened when I tightened the axle nuts. I had the wheel on and off the bike 20 times last night trying and failing to get it to work right. This has been one of the worst purchases of my life.- - -It is working OK now. Dust cap noise is way down after heavy sanding to make it fit between the sprocket and hub. I had to add a lot of grease to the clutch spring to quiet it down and take away its high, grease burning friction. I wish coaster brake hub manufacturers simply sent clean, dry parts out and let buyers assemble them. It's pointless and frustrating to install and re-install new hub parts with inadequate lubrication from the factory. New parts should be expected to simply function well, not be sources of bizarre, unprecedented problems.
