Sram 7 speed hub gear

[oznog]

Hello,
seeking advice on if its possible to remove the bit of a 7 speed hub gear that is configured for a back pedal brake? (as I have v brakes and don't like back pedal brakes)?

Removing brake from SRAM 7 speed hub

If you have not already bought this hub, then it is possible to get a 7speed Shimano Nexus hub without any internal brakes.
If you already have the bike with the SRAM 7speed hub, then the brake can be disabled by removing the cable. However, you will still be stuck with the external brake housing (including the metal arm that has to be clamped to the bike frame) as this is part of the overall hub axle spacing and provides some weather shielding for the axle bearings.
