Tell me about....Freecoasters

<< < (2/2)

laidback:
i've got a couple of sets of SuperPros that need lacing, after they've been rechromed.  I was thinking about lacing up a NOS Peregrine freecoaster into one, just to see what it was like, I've been told it will make a few tricks much easier..



^^That is what i'm considering.  It will need a sprocket though...

Biggeorge:
Give it a go and see how you get on. Don't stamp on the pedal as the sprockets only have 3 little teeth on them. You might need axle converters if you have 14mm dropouts.
The lag takes a bit of getting used to but you'll soon forget its there.
There's some flatland tricks I do that need a freecoaster. There's others that it makes easier.
Hope you enjoy.

been using a freecoaster for about 15 years or so now and i would hate being without it, i have about 10 of them. the most reliable one i,ve used would be my khe astern but the old nankai one i have still works perfectly. i only changed it because it was a 48h and i got new 36h rims. the mid school ultimate hardware ones were ok too as well as the taska ones.

I've been looking for coaster hubs for ages! Why are they so darn rare?

Ever since my mum sold my lilac coaster skyways in a boot fair 😱 I've missed the positive lock of one. Some tricks are easier and some it locks u up if your not careful. I always landed heavy on the rear pedal out of a bowl. Every frikkin time......screeeeeech!!!!

And yes, I remind her to this day the error made that day.
