Title: Skyway coaster arm, 2009 Freestyler
Post by: sparkysx on January 14, 2012, 11:26 PM: Hi,

My friend has a 2009 freestyler, and some recently purchased Tuff's with a coaster. Any ideas on how to attach the arm to the frame?

Cheers! 8)

Joe, did you not see what frame the Tuff is going on as well?? ;D ;)

As pictured above, grab a copy MX clamp and use that. I ran one BITD and run some tennis raquet tape around the frame where it went :daumenhoch:
