Sprag clutch . Onyx does it but it's heavy. Honestly, I'm contemplating either sprag clutch or free coaster , I just want a silent hub my Shimano is quite quiet but , it's not silent.
That's a lie you cannot use pedal pressure with this khe style clutch. The ribs on the clutch wear down if you put pedal pressure on it when rolling backwards. That is why any coaster with khe style clutch start skipping and not engaging when you pedal. Learn to half cab, use a back brake, or get a cassette.
nope. you can still use pedal pressure depending on how you adjust your slack. but if you continue using pressure on a freecoaster your hub wont last long i think.
What do you mean, Odyssey? You've gone with a tried and tested engagement system. I see what you mean about the pawl based system. It reminds me of a pole vaulter that snaps his/her pole. The traditional clutch system is like a car's clutch, it works because it's not a sudden, catastrophic halt.
I have this same hub and i have a problem where when i try pedaling it won’t engage until 3 or 4 rotations after, i’m not sure if this is fixable because i took it to a Bmx shop and they said that they can’t find the problem.
If you’ve already tried adjusting your slack to tighter and it’s still happening, the most likely culprit is your clutch itself, it’s beginning to wear out and not gripping as much, or your slack adjustment is wearing and it’s allowing play, the problem with going with soft parts to allow for heavier impacts is that they wear out, and if you don’t take it apart to regrease it and clean it out either you’re allowing more wear than normal
