I think he runs the bigger slack to keep it from flip flopping between coaster and cassette. I heard people had issues with that when it first came out so I never considered getting the z coaster. After trying a planetary I kind of want to try it again.
@@JeffyJæmessame. I have the planetary too and was thinking of this. These seem like too much slack before engaging. I think planetary are the best and require the less to think about
@@Lo-water-guide-service I have no problem with freecoaster slack, I just miss the stuff I could do with a cassette. Even if my planetary worked properly, it still doesn't do everything a cassette does. If you ran big slack in a Z coaster, you are essentially running a wtp hybrid. Only instead of tearing your hub apart, you just back pedal to switch.
I have a the planetary on my backup bike though. I put my BSD westcoaster back on my main bike because I have slammed hard from my planetary hub randomly engaging while going fakie.
@@sonnybikes planetary. Revolution and eclat both have hybrid fc that are more affordable. I love my profile mini cassette but don't think I'd go z if buying fc
The planetary is alright. I have 2 bikes, one with a coaster and pegs, the other with a planetary and pegless. The planetary isn't horrible, the only issue I have is sometimes it doesn't disengage and it catches me off guard. It's more of a coaster than a cassette, as cassette tricks don't really work with it, you just have pedal pressure when rolling forward. I am kinda curious with the Z coaster, but the price tag has stopped me from pulling the trigger.
