Inside The Game Changing New BMX Hub - Planetary Freecoaster

[@Brant_Moore]

One important thing to remember here everyone is that the planetary gearing is not under stress. It’s job is only to lift the pawls

[@ROADSTER29]

So can you cassete cab out?

[@Brant_Moore]

Can you explain what you mean by that so I can test it?

[@ROADSTER29]

Like using pedal pressure while hopping out of a fakie

[@seffboon6168]

M.mm.mm

[@Brant_Moore]

That exists in odyssey cassette hubs but not this

[@berticusmaximus00]

I have a feeling this is about to go viral

[@Brant_Moore]

That would be awesome, but it had its shine time and its trickling slower and slower. haha
If it came back to life and went crazy that'd be amazing

[@barlowjmb]

The way that thing is engineered is insane.
Such a cool run down, thanks!

[@Brant_Moore]

Right?! I look at it like, how did anyone even think of that or make that happen? haha
Thanks man and thank you for being here!

[@bmxicler6106]

A little bit of your dad coming out of you there with that car transmission stuff haha

[@Brant_Moore]

hahahaha Yea yea yea!

[@CrisKG125]

Pretty cool hub. What worries me is breaking the planetary gears. Good job explaining what's going on inside there. 👍👍

[@Brant_Moore]

The planetary gears are never under stress though. The only thing they do is engage the pawls

[@simplybananas]

I just got mine today!!! This fucking thing is sick! I can't plug it enough. Tal is a cool dude too!!

[@chrism4871]

Was it ridiculously expensive?

[@Brant_Moore]

It’s $240. $280 if you buy the complete wheel using their rim

[@simplybananas]

No it wasn't. And with express shipping it came in less than a week.

[@MrKrueger88]

Thanks for such an interesting and well done video ... The format and style is just so entertaining 👍😜😄

[@xpndblhero5170]

OMG, I want to try that out so badly¡! 😱😍❤️

[@tes_4204]

I can't wait to see how this hub performs

[@Brant_Moore]

No doubt. I’m excited to try it out!

[@screazy3538]

Fiend cab v2 have no more words

[@Scott-to8ri]

Initially I was skeptical of the planetary gear design. It looks pretty solid, but riding it will be the true test.

[@Brant_Moore]

Absolutely, I’ll be throwing it on tomorrow!

[@dajam9035]

This thing is going to change the game for bmx 😁😁

[@Brant_Moore]

I hope so!

[@whyyemm6483]

Nice it's like the RX7 rotary engine open doesn't wear and tear like it

[@WilliamBMX_GAMER]

Very nice! when the wheel turns back, the locks are not activated nor pedal forward normally as usual! Wow...

[@Stolas1777]

Really awesome in-depth look really awesome video series on this hub I’m like four deep

[@extraBash]

It is probably not metal to provide some grip to reveal the pawls
but at the same time to be able to rotate or to stop triangle disc
while driver stand still and hub rotates.

[@Brant_Moore]

The clutch assembly appears to be the same material as what's in a car clutch

[@speedmeade1]

I need to try this hub

[@Brant_Moore]

You know where to find one!

[@pwh4130]

Thanks for this. Please ride it for a month and let us know. I'm wondering if when rolling backwards, if you take your feet off the pedals, with the driver moving engage the chain and spin your cranks. As a flatlander, this would be really bad. Also, when rolling backwards, use pedal pressure to engage to 180 hop. Will that kill the clutch? Thanks.

[@Brant_Moore]

Ohhh I hadn't even considered the implications of the cranks spinning. I will test it for you and reply here
As far as pedal pressure to engage to 180 hop, Im not sure. I will have to test that as well.
Riding a coaster at all is a totally new learning curve for me. haha

[@pwh4130]

@@Brant_Moore Thanks. I've been watching freecoaster hubs come and go for years, each promising to be the best ever. I let other people try them before I commit to them. Do a backwards peg wheelie and see if the cranks spin. Thanks.

[@DouglasThompson]

@@pwh4130 If youre talking about using pedal pressure to 180 going forward there would be absolutely no problem. Trying to use pedal pressure to piviot out of a fakie would not work.

[@pwh4130]

@@DouglasThompson That's what I was asking. Thanks for clarifying.

[@dan_2846]

"Fast pedal forward movement while moving backwards can cause unwanted and damaging engagement." - straight off their website

[@Thescavenger]

Well it looks cool. i am little leary about it because of how the pawl lifts. The blind freecoaster that came with my bike, though a different design, lifted the pawls also with a little tab on one side that would catch and lift. i dont know if it was misused or abused by the time i got it, but it would randomly disengage violently. It was the cause of a couple pretty hard crashes because it would let loose while i was pedaling full speed. i think the pawls started to get rounded out from partial engagement maybe. Not a 100% though. Hopefully they have solved the cassette\freecoaster combo and this one will hold up to ware better. Have fun testing it out!

[@Brant_Moore]

Oh that's an interesting thought. Hopefully that doesn't happen!

[@Thescavenger]

@@Brant_Moore i really hope it doesn’t. 🤞

[@j.parrish]

If these hold up, I must make it mine!😆🤔 Btw, really appreciate this video!!!👍🏻

[@Brant_Moore]

Right?!
And hell yea I’m glad I could make it for you!

[@Sentient6ix]

I'm tempted. Especially since i need to get a new hub sometime soonish

[@Brant_Moore]

I can recommend it so far man

[@Sentient6ix]

@@Brant_Moore yeah, i just wanna get my fakie dialed on cassette before i move onto freecoaster

[@Brant_Moore]

Ill be totally honest...i've been doing fakies for more than 10 years with almost zero improvement..This thing made them better instantly just by not having to mess with balance by back pedaling

[@VAustin89]

Almost the same with the concept on a the ezra freecoaster/ cassette.. Only difference is the clutch disc, since ezra doesnt have the gearing on the clutch disk and can be reconfigured to a pure cassette or on free coaster. I think this design would be cheaper and robust than the typical KHE internal freecoasters.

[@Santos.jean21]

It works like ezra freecoaster hub, but without the planetary gear

[@Ryanspruce]

Very slick

[@aidannemeth5312]

Cool hub

[@richardgrant8232]

Get it built up and do a review please

[@Brant_Moore]

Will do!

[@Brant_Moore]

It’s already built too!

[@chrism4871]

I just got on the freecoaster game and hate the slack, too many jacked knees, but this would make life so much better. Gotta get one

[@rkjeffery777]

Chris M you just gotta remember. I’m tall and never hit my knees and have long legs

[@chrism4871]

@@rkjeffery777 i dont even know who you are dude? And height doesnt mean you dont hit your knees fool. Im tall too and even on an 21"tt still hit my knee time to time.

[@ivankorotiuk1681]

my dream was to come up with a hub like this

[@Brant_Moore]

You still can come up with something new!

[@user-lp8jm1pm4n]

Small dream

[@alexandersillan8139]

Love it

[@adrenalinealcorn3034]

It like the planetary in an RC car exact same design I know that's where they got it from

[@t.j.bernard8952]

Hairley davidson.. gnarly

[@Brant_Moore]

That’s a good one

[@BigTree412]

So is there pedal pressure?

[@rafaelcordova4600]

almost like an ezra mechanism

[@Brant_Moore]

Yep! They told me it was inspired by the Ezra design

[@jaedog369]

You should check out onyx hubs they make no sound And have instant engagement And ceramic bearings

[@djdeguzman8272]

What if you accidentally pedal pressure while doing pivot/360 taps can it ruin the hub??

[@Brant_Moore]

It just will not engage. You have to pedal pretty hard and deliberately to get it to engage. I’ve got a few videos riding it that show examples

[@Uncle-Adam]

At 4:33 you mentioned "not peddling forward while fakieing". Wouldn't heavy peddle pressure forward to rotate out of a fakie fit the description here? Will this thing hold up with hard direction changes, etc? I'm a husky dude and break a lot of stuff...

[@Brant_Moore]

The idea of a coaster is that you’re not using pedal pressure to roll out of a fakie so ideally you wouldn’t be doing that anyway

[@Uncle-Adam]

@@Brant_Moore Makes sense... I've only ridden other peoples coasters so I'm not familiar with it in depth. Maybe just get one and start riding it to find out :-)

[@Brant_Moore]

Understandable man, send it!
You absolutely can use pedal pressure to roll out with this hub, but you have to do a back pedal first right before you do it. Half cabbing out works a lot easier, and in my opinion looks better. I never used to do them before I got this hub but now it’s all I do and tricks look so much better

[@bigstone8562]

Dude, check the Ezra FC hub, this is totally old stuff with new shell.

[@Brant_Moore]

The Ezra has to be disengaged and re engaged. This hub does not and has Planetary gearing inside. It’s based on the Ezra but works totally different

[@jaedog369]

Planetary gears or also and heavy equipment

[@jonnydolensky3246]

Im 666 like... what do I win? do get that freecoaster? No? thats alright,I ride cassette lol yeah i didnt need you for this conversation lol

[@xcupgaming2188]

ezra mechanism

[@Brant_Moore]

Similar and based off of the Ezra, but still totally different

[@supernoobsmith5718]

I like the idea but....this:
"Fast pedal forward movement while moving backwards can cause unwanted and damaging engagement.
Pedaling forward while moving backwards is possible, but depends on the speed rotation of the wheel."
This is meant for freestyle. If the above statement is true, it's a guaranteed fail. It will break all the time. Am I missing something here? Nobody rides perfect. Jabs at the pedals will happen, and happen often.

[@Brant_Moore]

It’s okay to be skeptical but I don’t think we should write it off before anyone gets to try it.
You can’t pedal forward with other coasters without it engaging so this isn’t much different.
If anyone’s gonna break it quick, it’s me. Haha So well see

[@DouglasThompson]

Honestly I tested pedaling forward while riding fakie with it and you have to pedal forward more than just accidentally, it has to be like you're E.T.'ing for it to actually catch.

[@pipelineaudio]

But is it in oil slick?

[@Brant_Moore]

Not yet!

[@chrismario6371]

So what are the benefits to this hub? I see it a lot like the vocal or z coaster. Trying to address issues that don’t need to be fixed. I could be completely wrong about this.

[@carsontinsley4003]

Profile z coaster?

[@Brant_Moore]

But without the need to disengage!

[@carsontinsley4003]

@Brant_Moore i really want to buy one.. I already have a money spending issue. I’m blaming you lol

[@samuelkaye6682]

I don't get it. Wtf

[@gardenstateflatlandb]

A hub that can't handle forward pedal pressure while going fakie isn't really a good thing. Pedal forward...blow your clutch? Not for me.

[@Brant_Moore]

Watch the other videos with it. You’ll be surprised

[@gardenstateflatlandb]

@@Brant_Moore Word! 👍

[@trp1751]

The cassette are the gears on a multi speed bike. He doesn’t know his terminology. The clicking is coming from the freewheel!

[@Brant_Moore]

No sir. Freewheels are a mechanism that thread onto a rear hub and are rarely used in freestyle BMX anymore. A cassette is a style of BMX hub, and the gears on a multi speed bike.
Good try though!

[@trp1751]
