How often should you grease a coaster? Thanks

@AlfredoMancuso 4 года назад

Depends on usage but every couple months

@AlfredoMancuso 8 лет назад

I suppose

@robertmajor611 8 лет назад

This was a good one. I'm an old school BMX'er from the late 80s/early 90s and just getting back into it and I understand what a freecoaster is but didn't really have any idea how they worked technically so this was awesome for me. I really like that you know all about stuff you personally don't use as well, really shows your depth of knowledge. Cheers.

@kalebdlugi4101 7 лет назад

I have a WTP on my Kink and I hate it. It’s got about 2/3-3/4 of a full rotation of slack that you have to push through before you’re applying power again. Unless I’m doing a trick where I’m really moving, I end up having to put a foot down before it reengages again half the time. My buddies bike I learned to freecoaster on was only maybe 1/5 of a rotation. I’m going to be adding a few washers/spacers to mine to fix it this week

@twentytolife4401 6 лет назад

Reminder. When rolling backwards when using a coaster. YOU DO NOT USE PEDAL PRESSURE TO RIDE OUT OF A FAKIE. HALF CAB OR SLIDE OUT. When the hub is rolling backwards and you put pedal pressure. That clutch is getting the splines on it worn down. Eventually the clutch won't engage and give you pedal pressure. It'll feel like it not catching, and at that point, your clutch is trashed.

@spek1174 5 лет назад

I've fallin in love with freecoasters. it is definitely a learning curve and is something that you just get accustomed to over time. Thanks so much for this tutorial!

I have a Cinema FX Freecoaster wheel and all my spokes are evenly tightened but my wheel still wobbles a little. I think it's wobbling on the axel but I've taken apart the wheel and made sure all the components of the hub are tight. What do I do?

@mitchflatt819 5 лет назад

Get new bearings

I know this is a old video but could anyone help me, my freecoaster locks up if i land harder on my right foot, its a rhd freecoaster

@AlfredoMancuso 5 лет назад

Your clutch might have an issue

@Drake_Dawley 5 лет назад

@@AlfredoMancuso could this be fixed, its a brand new hub but its a cheaper hub

@trailwomanrc 2 года назад

So when you pedal backwards the driver engages the clutch to pedal? 5:50

I just bought a Cinema ZX Freecoaster and I have been told if i dont remove the lockring and washer behind the driver that my driver side bearing will blow out quickly. Should I be concerned? Not sure if i should leave it or remove it, because now im afraid im riding on a time bomb. Any advice?

@rickylanglands4727 5 лет назад

My freecoaster is not working when i put pressure on the pedals , it back pedals as though it was a cassette. If i stand off the bike and roll it back it works fine, do i need to adjust slack/remove one of the washers??

@arok_audio 3 года назад

Can some1 please explain to me why in the world they would take spacers out? As a guy that likes to spin, the "slack" is my enemy

@codywilliam8979 7 лет назад

Can you replace just the springs that hold the clutch centered? One of the little balls popped out of the bolt that holds it in and I just removed the bolt and put it back in and put the clutch over and it has been working fine. Will I need to replace my hub or can I still ride on it?

@stevenwilliamsx 8 лет назад

Hey Alf I know this isn't relevant but do you know I'm super curious if you know if Austin augie and TCU/OSS are cool with each other or not. People are wondering on his channel and it got me thinking, I know he did the interview with Adam and was in a couple vlogs. Anyway thanks!

What happens if you engage a free coaster while going backwards lol

@AlfredoMancuso 6 лет назад

It'll cause you to either loop out backwards or just stop you from going backwards

@ihvspyn 3 года назад

Thanks very much

@derekandre9302 6 лет назад

So to get this clear when you go backwards the clutch disengages and threads way until it stops at the end of the threads. Then when you go there pedal for ward the clutch threads back up to the driver and depending on how much distance is between the driver and clutch depends on the slack?

@mitchflatt819 5 лет назад

Yes
