yep that's pretty spot on I'm getting the MTB version so 32 hole only and its around $560 USD including shipping to my town so in Australia it comes about $850 AUD
i know nothing about BMX hubs or BMX in general, but i think every extreme sport is incredibly entertaining and interesting, so Adam thanks for making these awesome videos dude, they are both entertaining and informative !
Adam I skate but love your videos and want to get a bike but I have like no money, so I just wanted to tell you that I think some people don't even ride bikes but love watching your videos. So keep up the great work! And shout out to Oxford skaters and bikers :)
I forgot to say this in the last comment, - keep doing what your doing Adam, you help a lot of people out including me and you put me in the mood to ride, even though I could never be as good as you. Thank you.
Question... Adam if you ride with headphones, Surely you wouldn't be able to hear when it's clicking or if it's in free coaster mode. To me that would put me off buying it, would rather just have a casset or a free coaster to know what's going to happen when I land?
Dude you should stop in South Jersey during a road trip between Florida and Connecticut or something, I'd be stoked to meet you, you've got me into bmx again and its awesome
Hey Adam do you think maybe one day you could make a video for the people that have just bought a bike for the first time, sort of explain the most important things to get comfortable with when riding parks and just riding in general. Sort of like a beginners guide to flowing a park and learning the early tricks etc.
The Colony free coaster isn't to bad either if you're after affordability! but obviously the Z coaster would be a preferred choice for many! sick video Adam as per usual
ON AN UNRELATED NOTE! Adam, if you're gonna do tours, include the ASEAN countries please! Like the Philippines, Singapore, Japan, Hong Kong, Taiwan! Etc. Do visit your fans here in the continent of Asia. I'm from the Philippines and a lot of my buddies idolize you, and the BMX scene here is quite dope! :)
It's a different idea and hopefully some more ideas will come out of it. I'm the exact opposite with Profile though - I've had 4 rear hubs and they all broke and chewed themselves up in under 6 months to a year. I don't trust them anymore, especially since they are the most expensive on the market.
There are enough videos telling you how to do this already..no offence to LZ but I watched his "how to make your hub louder" video years back and remember thinking "I really hope kids realise this dudes not a mechanic and don't do this".
You should really try to come to Lebanon Oregon!!! It would be a pleasure because we just got a new park that was built on nothing but donations and built by volunteering skaters and bmxers
Could you do crank flips on only cassette mode? Or if you spin it will it turn to a coaster? Cause it's pretty hard to crank flip w the slack! Also if your gonna come to Canada! The number one place you have to come is Toronto, biking through the 6ix (with your woes)
mate we all started out on mongooses (mongeese? Mong Geeses?) and diamond backs, and I'm talking even back in the nineties. It's a time-worn route into BMX, no need to feel stupid
Question!! if you are free coasting backwards, then pedal back a bit so your cranks are perpendicular to the floor, then you crank forward, will the casset engage?? because that would a way to be able to 5 cab on a z-coaster
Question, if you buy 75˚ slack cam thing does that mean when you start pedalling you need to pedal more until you start moving or are they all the same?
LZ BMX Can you please come to western Australia we have some pretty sick parks as well as getting a new one built now with a 16 foot deep bowl that has 2 feet of vertical. And can you bring Bert. thank you for all the great vids keep em up.
LZ BMX if the hub is in cassette mode and you don't switch to free coaster mode with the quarter crank back, and you for example 180, do you pedal back like a cassette?
Matthew Milbers As far as i understood from the video yes. Unless you pedal faster then the speed youre going backwards, then it will engage freecoster mode:)
Matthew Milbers No, unless you pedal at the exact speed your wheel is moving, which is really hard to do. Thats how I understood it from the video anyway
i love profile and the loud noise because its the best sound on earth but i can never afford one is there a low priced one. also your new smurf splatter is awesome i'm going to try to get a hat.
Here's an interesting concept that might blow your mind:.ever thought of trying out a fixed wheel hub? Circus performers use these so it would mean a whole new level of skiLZ
+LZ BMX could we get your thoughts on the elites? For cassette riders, why minis over elites? Just cost? Too much engagement? No one really has reviewed the elites.
Adam, when you come to England, make sure you do a Nottingham trip and come to Clifton and let me know when you do because I would love to meet you. :-)
Dude if you wanna travel you should visit Williamsport PA! All of the riders here love watching you're vids, we all suck but hey why not. I'd love to meet and ride with you as well as many of my friends here, please consider it!
Hi Adam, I'm a huge fan. I'm starting up in bmx and I would like to hear your oppion on the best type of bmx bikes for me to get keep up the great work. ; )
Adam, huge fan. I've asked on another video but you didn't answer. what knee/shin guards do you ride? I saw the kali banner in the background, but I didn't see a price. Can you tell me how much the vaza knee/shin guards are?. really want some but no store around me.
Two years ago it was a competition as to who had the loudest hub. Then it was quitest hub with free coaster. Now it's the best of both worlds for those people in the competition
Hey Adam, I was wondering if your pumping around a bowl then come out of it for a quarter or something would it Change to a coaster when you come out because it would move your feet back and also what psi do you ride? Thx
Hey LZ can you do a video letting us know when you are going to Canada I would like to come see you if you come down here thank and keep up the great riding
If you're in cassette mode and start to go backwards with pedal pressure like you're doing a backwards manual(not faster than the hub is moving), will the hub still switch to free coaster mode after 1/4 crank?
LZ BMX Not taking into account the price difference between this and a freecoaster, would you recommend this over a freecoaster to someone who has only ever ridden cassettes? It seems like a confusing product, but it's probably one of those things you just have to experience. Thanks!
LZ BMX good to know, thanks! You should probably bring it through DC the next time you're down this way. You know, meet new people, ride new places wink wink
If youre coming to Canada come to Ottawa!! Nations capital with a lot of good street riding downtown and a new indoor bike park (called epic) thats 53 000 sq feet. Hell i may even be able to find you a place to stay. Close to Toronto and Montreal too
hey adam great video and also if you end up going to canada im guessin that you would be going to joyride well if you do can you plz try to go to belleville ontario its like 2 hours east of joyride
Adam I really need to know if you could use this hub on dirt cause I'm a street rider and a dirt rider and I hear if u use a freecoaster on dirt it has a problem engaging cause of the bumps but could this be used on dirt
Ok i have been watching all your videos and im serious about getting into bmx. Now im no little kid im 20 years old and 6 feet tall. My man question is should i start with a Casette or a free coaster?? Like if you could go back in time and start over would you still start on a casette or would you have went to free coaster
LZ please help me decide.... 75 slack or 90? I do lots of flatland and mini-ramp. Pedal tricks need slack but not sure if 90 is too much. Thoughts? Grazi
Ken Bass Thank you! I ordered the 75 slack... I'm so used to freewheel, when I first tried a freecoaster I got stuck in an awkward pedal position. Sucked. I'm hoping the z coaster helps avoid it.
Adam, I was @ the Profile Website to place an order and got confused on the options. Can you assist me with why I would choose one option over another. TIA bro
Adam, u mentioned in another comment you are going to joyride 150 in ontario, canada, when will u be there, what day what time cuz i live right next to it????????????????
So the hub Is $386 for you and that means its gonna be like $750 in australia...
yep that's pretty spot on I'm getting the MTB version so 32 hole only and its around $560 USD including shipping to my town so in Australia it comes about $850 AUD
I don't ride bikes/BMX'S but your videos are so awesome LZ BMX
Kawa gaming channel Thank you!
LZ BMX no thankyou
You the Man bro! Thanks dude for making this video I've been wondering all about it you answered everything preciate it bro
i know nothing about BMX hubs or BMX in general, but i think every extreme sport is incredibly entertaining and interesting, so Adam thanks for making these awesome videos dude, they are both entertaining and informative !
poisoncobra7 Glad you feel that way :)
Come to Australia!
I'll even hook you up with free accommodation and let you drive my r32 4 door 4WD skyline. :)
Cameron Footner THAT WOULD BE AWESOME
Cameron Footner Dude, he answered! Please meet eachother, i want Adam to go crazy in that r32!!! :D
+LZ BMX Or my R34 ;)
Adam I skate but love your videos and want to get a bike but I have like no money, so I just wanted to tell you that I think some people don't even ride bikes but love watching your videos. So keep up the great work! And shout out to Oxford skaters and bikers :)
I forgot to say this in the last comment, - keep doing what your doing Adam, you help a lot of people out including me and you put me in the mood to ride, even though I could never be as good as you. Thank you.
Question... Adam if you ride with headphones, Surely you wouldn't be able to hear when it's clicking or if it's in free coaster mode. To me that would put me off buying it, would rather just have a casset or a free coaster to know what's going to happen when I land?
even if you have headphones in you can hear some cassettes unless they are noise canceling/isolating or you crank your music really loud.
Dude you should stop in South Jersey during a road trip between Florida and Connecticut or something, I'd be stoked to meet you, you've got me into bmx again and its awesome
Hey Adam do you think maybe one day you could make a video for the people that have just bought a bike for the first time, sort of explain the most important things to get comfortable with when riding parks and just riding in general. Sort of like a beginners guide to flowing a park and learning the early tricks etc.
Can't wait I am buying mine soon
You should definately ride Unit 23 when you're in the UK if you can. It's a sick park and I know you'd love it!
Ever ridden a colony wasp hub? It's basically a $140 profile elite hub, but stronger. Engagement is super fast and solid too.
I no longer bmx but still watch your videos
I skateboard and Adam you make the best webisodes on youtube. I never miss one.
Austin Cole Thank you!
anyone else just get this on there recommend after 5 years of it being posted
Hey man I am just wondering are you coming to Australia?
I asked him once and he said that he really wants to
dude you got me into bmx, keep riding and keep posting,
Can't wait till your come to England. I'm going to try my hardest to try and meet you!!!
The Colony free coaster isn't to bad either if you're after affordability! but obviously the Z coaster would be a preferred choice for many! sick video Adam as per usual
ARE YOU GOING TO THE UK WITH CATFISH?! I SEEN YOUR GUYSES TWEETS ABOUT IT
You should make a video on what's the best riding shoes or suggestions
Thank you for these videos they inspired me to start bmxing 😜 keep up the great videos.
Hey Adam! I just started bmx and you inspired me to get off that scooter and onto a 20". Are you ever coming back to Milwaukee or even Chicago?
ON AN UNRELATED NOTE! Adam, if you're gonna do tours, include the ASEAN countries please! Like the Philippines, Singapore, Japan, Hong Kong, Taiwan! Etc. Do visit your fans here in the continent of Asia. I'm from the Philippines and a lot of my buddies idolize you, and the BMX scene here is quite dope! :)
It's so tough because I don't know anyone out there :(
Also you should come to palm city park it's kinda small but it would be awesome to see you there!
You're a great guy Adam and I love your videos even though I don't ride bmx myself, keep it up :)
Come to Australia, we have lots of cool spots down here and you definitely have a huge following down here
Wow this is really amazing! Guys Madera (profiles sister company) has the exact same hub design for cheaper.
It's a different idea and hopefully some more ideas will come out of it. I'm the exact opposite with Profile though - I've had 4 rear hubs and they all broke and chewed themselves up in under 6 months to a year. I don't trust them anymore, especially since they are the most expensive on the market.
Hey can you do a tutorial on the best and cheapest bike frame or bike to buy. I would like to start riding Bc your videos are inspiring me on to ride.
Can you please come to Australia I really want to meet you
Kyle Kelly Yes!
Omg yes
Kyle Kelly Yes!!!
+Kyle Kelly Where in Australia?
Queensland ;')
Can you make a video on how to lace and true a rim I think if you post something like that I feel like it would help a lot of people save money
You act like only Adam LZ can make a how to for that.
jose guerrero there are so many other videos out there
There are enough videos telling you how to do this already..no offence to LZ but I watched his "how to make your hub louder" video years back and remember thinking "I really hope kids realise this dudes not a mechanic and don't do this".
You should really try to come to Lebanon Oregon!!! It would be a pleasure because we just got a new park that was built on nothing but donations and built by volunteering skaters and bmxers
Could you do crank flips on only cassette mode? Or if you spin it will it turn to a coaster? Cause it's pretty hard to crank flip w the slack! Also if your gonna come to Canada! The number one place you have to come is Toronto, biking through the 6ix (with your woes)
Adam, what's your opinion on the Profile Elite Hub? I've been wanting to buy some, but the price tag is a little ridiculous...
I feel stupid watching this because I have a mongoose
mongoose used to be a better company
Just because you ride a mongoose doesn't mean anything bad as long as you having fun riding it doesn't matter what you ride
mate we all started out on mongooses (mongeese? Mong Geeses?) and diamond backs, and I'm talking even back in the nineties. It's a time-worn route into BMX, no need to feel stupid
illiterate thug i started on an eastern, it was about as good as a mongoose though.
Stefan Acosta I used to ride mongoose legion l60 loved it
Question!!
if you are free coasting backwards, then pedal back a bit so your cranks are perpendicular to the floor, then you crank forward, will the casset engage?? because that would a way to be able to 5 cab on a z-coaster
I'm Hungry Yea, but it wouldn't be super predictable. Interesting concept, I'll have to try it
Question, if you buy 75˚ slack cam thing does that mean when you start pedalling you need to pedal more until you start moving or are they all the same?
LZ BMX Can you please come to western Australia we have some pretty sick parks as well as getting a new one built now with a 16 foot deep bowl that has 2 feet of vertical. And can you bring Bert. thank you for all the great vids keep em up.
See I ride the Primo freemix and that slack on it is crazy. You can't adjust it either. When will you be back in Florida?
LZ BMX if the hub is in cassette mode and you don't switch to free coaster mode with the quarter crank back, and you for example 180, do you pedal back like a cassette?
Matthew Milbers I would like to know this too.
Matthew Milbers As far as i understood from the video yes. Unless you pedal faster then the speed youre going backwards, then it will engage freecoster mode:)
Matthew Milbers No, unless you pedal at the exact speed your wheel is moving, which is really hard to do.
Thats how I understood it from the video anyway
when you come to the UK, if you want to hit up any trails in east anglia sudbourne is the place to come. would be rad to meet and ride with you.
That hub looks amazing and me and my friend are big fans of you and we were wondering if you will be coming to Idaho falls Idaho anytime
i love profile and the loud noise because its the best sound on earth but i can never afford one is there a low priced one. also your new smurf splatter is awesome i'm going to try to get a hat.
Madera hubs are around $160 (back) $80 (front)and are just cheap profile hubs
Here's an interesting concept that might blow your mind:.ever thought of trying out a fixed wheel hub? Circus performers use these so it would mean a whole new level of skiLZ
Does it cost money for shipping cos I live in Australia, and your video was pretty explanatory
+LZ BMX could we get your thoughts on the elites? For cassette riders, why minis over elites? Just cost? Too much engagement? No one really has reviewed the elites.
What tires do you ride Adam? My tread is wearing down and I'm looking to get new ones.
The new shirts and hats look so sick
Little off topic buttttt...Are you coming back to Wisconsin anytime soon?
Adam, when you come to England, make sure you do a Nottingham trip and come to Clifton and let me know when you do because I would love to meet you. :-)
Dude if you wanna travel you should visit Williamsport PA! All of the riders here love watching you're vids, we all suck but hey why not. I'd love to meet and ride with you as well as many of my friends here, please consider it!
I love your videos, keep up the work!
Keep up the great work and I switch to biking because of you thanks
I'm getting the merrit one. Seems reliable bc it doesn't use driver bearings and its hella cheap
Can you film a how to froth flip? Really stoked on you landing them
im buying one because of this video and wondering how they are with tire taps
Profile better be giving some compensation for all the good words haha
Hi Adam, I'm a huge fan. I'm starting up in bmx and I would like to hear your oppion on the best type of bmx bikes for me to get keep up the great work. ; )
Have you ever put peanut butter between your spokes to be able to do better 360's?
Adam are you going to keep this hub on your bike??
Could sometime come to Reno Nevada and go to Mira Loma skatepark it's a really nice skatepark i take my bmx there all the time and it's awesome
Adam, huge fan. I've asked on another video but you didn't answer. what knee/shin guards do you ride? I saw the kali banner in the background, but I didn't see a price. Can you tell me how much the vaza knee/shin guards are?. really want some but no store around me.
I use lizard skin shin guards, I wouldn't reccend my knee pads
oh my god you just made my day. I thought you used kali.
Two years ago it was a competition as to who had the loudest hub. Then it was quitest hub with free coaster. Now it's the best of both worlds for those people in the competition
Adam, you should make blue splatter sun glasses. That'd be dope
You should come to st. Clair Michigan and ride the skate park here because it's really nice
Hey Adam, I was wondering if your pumping around a bowl then come out of it for a quarter or something would it Change to a coaster when you come out because it would move your feet back and also what psi do you ride? Thx
Sometimes. I ride different psi depending on if I'm at a park or street!
Adam your videos help a lot keep them coming when's next webisode?
Hey LZ can you do a video letting us know when you are going to Canada I would like to come see you if you come down here thank and keep up the great riding
Hey Adam, if you need a place to crash if you come to Canada my place I always open! Btw, it's not far from joyride. 😬
Great video adam!! And yes please try to come to Canada.
Adam your amazing and will you make a video on how to 180 smith to smith please
Thank you, very informative for anyone shopping freecoasters.
If you're in cassette mode and start to go backwards with pedal pressure like you're doing a backwards manual(not faster than the hub is moving), will the hub still switch to free coaster mode after 1/4 crank?
LZ BMX Not taking into account the price difference between this and a freecoaster, would you recommend this over a freecoaster to someone who has only ever ridden cassettes? It seems like a confusing product, but it's probably one of those things you just have to experience. Thanks!
george fava It's definitely easier to switch to this rather than going right to a coaster!
LZ BMX good to know, thanks! You should probably bring it through DC the next time you're down this way. You know, meet new people, ride new places wink wink
Wow..looking up hubs on The Source BMX websites new wheelbuilder and here's an old LZ video haha.
You inspired me to bike I love it deep up the vids they are sick
serious question here, what engages harder your z coaster or your clutch on your 240? is it a 6 puck stage 2 clutch?
If youre coming to Canada come to Ottawa!! Nations capital with a lot of good street riding downtown and a new indoor bike park (called epic) thats 53 000 sq feet. Hell i may even be able to find you a place to stay. Close to Toronto and Montreal too
hey adam great video and also if you end up going to canada im guessin that you would be going to joyride well if you do can you plz try to go to belleville ontario its like 2 hours east of joyride
I'm trying to save up for a wtp curse, what are your thoughts on that bike ?
Adam when you come to Canada are you going with anyone like Cody,Nicole,spencer anyone?
@adamlz should come ride Arizona would love to see you rate it up at some local spots
Adam I really need to know if you could use this hub on dirt cause I'm a street rider and a dirt rider and I hear if u use a freecoaster on dirt it has a problem engaging cause of the bumps but could this be used on dirt
Do u have any advice for me, I was changing my pegs over and put on nut wrong way round and now it won't come off :( pls help Adam
Step 1
Wd-40
Step2
Hot water and pull
Hedheyhinch take it to a shop if you dont know what to do
Hedheyhinch James, you're a spastic
Hey just heat it up and tht shld expand the threads on the bolt enought to get it un cross threaded
Hi james
You need to come to Canada and Shaw Millenium Park in Calgary!
Could you make a video about what bmxs to get for a beginner
LZ BMX love watching your videos and I hope I run in to u when u come to Connecticut
Ok i have been watching all your videos and im serious about getting into bmx. Now im no little kid im 20 years old and 6 feet tall. My man question is should i start with a Casette or a free coaster?? Like if you could go back in time and start over would you still start on a casette or would you have went to free coaster
Josh Jones I personally it's easier to start learning tricks with a cassette. It's the base of bmxing.
Love you Adam😍 Get me some peppers!!
If you say do a 180 in coaster mode, when you turnout and take a pedal or two, will it reset into casset mode?
LZ please help me decide.... 75 slack or 90? I do lots of flatland and mini-ramp. Pedal tricks need slack but not sure if 90 is too much. Thoughts? Grazi
if you use a little bit of pedal pressure then less slack
Ken Bass Thank you! I ordered the 75 slack... I'm so used to freewheel, when I first tried a freecoaster I got stuck in an awkward pedal position. Sucked. I'm hoping the z coaster helps avoid it.
Adam, I was @ the Profile Website to place an order and got confused on the options. Can you assist me with why I would choose one option over another. TIA bro
Will you ever come to Australia?
Can you still tap with a z coaster and do tricks that involve that pedal pressure or nah?
Adam, u mentioned in another comment you are going to joyride 150 in ontario, canada, when will u be there, what day what time cuz i live right next to it????????????????
LZ BMX My question about the Z-Coaster could be a bit dumb, but is it possible to fakie? Or does it just switch into coaster mode of you try it?
Oliver Clayton Smith I talk about this in the video. You could, but you naturally go a little faster than the hub and it disengages
If you come to Canada definitely hit millennium park in Calgary, AB.
I'm On my fourth coaster with no failure but I want to go back to cassette but not realy willing to give up the coaster so this is perfect
