I could not find much here on the coaster brake version of the Nexus 7
hub. What type of service are folks getting from the 7 speed Nexus
coaster brake hubs??? How well do they stop? Life of brake in "normal"
conditions. (NOT salt and ice)

Ease of shifting, life of hub, maintenance???? Failures of any
kind???

I like coaster brakes and will be using a front brake , so I'm just
looking for info from informed folks .

Landotter answered your question. But I'll add that if you have a front
brake, you won't need to use the rear hub brake. The front brake alone
has all the stopping power you'll need. The only time to use the rear
brake is:

-On loose surfaces (i.e. gravel) where there is a chance of front wheel
skidding that would cause loss of steering control
-On long descents, to help prevent the front brake from overheating
-As an emergency brake should your front brake fail.
