Mat Smith! Posted July 6, 2007 Report Share Posted July 6, 2007 48 hole drillingAnd 13s lowest sprocket, although I use a 13t, might not be good for all..Matx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt rushton Posted July 6, 2007 Report Share Posted July 6, 2007 I think you can get 48h Alex rims though. Also would probaly void the warrenty if you use it for trials. Also can see it having too many pickup points.Matt Rushton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyseemonkeydo Posted July 6, 2007 Report Share Posted July 6, 2007 It's a freecoaster that's been around for years. Think the guarantee is for the freecoasting mechanism which is very different to what you need for trials... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkeyseemonkeydo Posted July 6, 2007 Report Share Posted July 6, 2007 Yeah, sorry- Freecoaster as in what flatland BMXers use to allow rollbacks. Pickup when you want to go forward is usually very sluggish (although tunable) but tends to be about an eighth of a crank turn so useless for trials. Also about twice as heavy as a profile...

PaRtZ Posted July 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2007 ... Sorry to be so negative!!oh no please do.

Mod Man Leo Posted July 6, 2007 Report Share Posted July 6, 2007 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dG6XsDzyLbwHow to make a freecoaster, my mate did it to his hub, not sure in the way the guy in the vid does , but it works as well as my other mates KHE Giesha.

BONGO Posted July 6, 2007 Report Share Posted July 6, 2007 Up until the last couple of years, this has been the only freecoaster any flatlander worth his cheese would use (if he could afford it!)They are great for their purpose, but maybe not so great outside the flatland field due to the weight and pick up as has been mentioned. Besides the fact that they are so expensive, and the fact that profiles don't need improving on fr trials anyway do they!?!Outer Bongolia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poopipe Posted July 7, 2007 Report Share Posted July 7, 2007 (edited) but it works as well as my other mates KHE Giesha....for a week, until the bearings explodeI had the same setup in a skyway tuff 2 in about 93-94 and that used to explode on me all the time . it was cheap to fix and it did work but in no way was it comparable to a geisha Edited July 7, 2007 by poopipe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
