So glad you made this vid, not many good vids only vids of people assembling and disassembling. i bought bike with a free coaster and its a kink switch. the free caoster has way more play than yours does and hard to find a vid of what to expect on how much play. I watched a cranmer vid during a vid from a while ago i recall matty comparing how fast his engages. but i cant recall the vid as it was not the point of the vid and scotty puts out many vids a week. so my bike has about 1/3 of peddle length and will move that much before it engages. i hate it but i have no clue if thats normal. been riding a dirt jumper for while and DH wanted to get back into BMX but im new to free coasters. is 1/3 a peddle to much?
I'm actually really torn between getting a Kink Whip and a Subrosa Letum. The Subrosa is a bit more, but it comes with a freecoaster, 4 pegs, hug guards and a sprocket guard. But that slack is something really offputting to me.
@@spenner_bmx3373 I'm just not sure if it's something I could get used to. All I've ever rode was a cassette. But it would make fakie's and stuff easier.
@@spenner_bmx3373 I actually decided on the Kink Switch. I like the cost and the extra's of the Letum. But I just really hate the paint scheme. I don't care for raw and the new ones are either black or red fading into raw.
You can get cults free coaster or cassette for same price 250. But they have their astronomical wheel which is freecoaster but sounds like cassette for 350.
@Oj Savage it really depends on the rider. With a cassette you will have pedal pressure( simply means that you have 0 slack and instant engagement) Slack just simply means when you pedal backwards on a cassette it has instant engagement because in the hub there ridges and the driver that interlock system. The driver has teeth on the inside that ride over the ridges which makes the ticking sound on a cassette and when you pedal forwards the teeth catch the ridges allowing you to pedal forward. The freecoaster has a clutch system and meaning that there is some slack. When you pedal backwards then pedal forwards before you move or get more speed there is that small little delay before your freecoaster engages again. I know this can be really confusing and I get that I really do but if you have any questions on bike stuff can ask me
@Botond Simák the tires I have are the Stevie Churchill signature ones. The tire is 20 x 2.45inch. When you have a wide rim and a wide tire it takes more surface area to expand when you air it up . The rim is a Stranger Crux XL Rim and it’s 43mm wide
@Derrick Williams You can buy a cassette wheel from your local bike shop or you can buy one from online at Sourcebmx.com The Secret Bmx Shop.com Dans Comp.com These websites have a wide variety of cassette/freecoaster wheels and other BMX parts
