Can you do a vid on brakes vs no brakes, or a vid on what to look for when you're buying new parts? That would be awesome! Keep up to good work you're videos are awesome!
I don't know how it is for you but my girlfriend's is not going to be like that .because i have cassette.and i'd expect my woman to like riding free coaster because i feel woman can't not like the same things i like in my opinon(Nothing against woman who don't like free coasters Especially Adam's Girl with all do respect! in case if you guys got the wrong impression of what i said). With All Do Respect. I Mean No Disrespect To Anybody
No, instead of using preasure to keep the wheel up the wheel is already being kept up, so it's just some movement forced by the already balanced wheel.
Do you have a video on no brakes vs brakes? If not, you should consider making one cause I'm curious on which one you think is better and what the pros and cons are of brakes and no brakes.
man youre talking so fast :D im from germany and this was 12 minutes of pure concentration for me to understand this :D but fuck off, thats better english lesson, than 5 hours at the school, so thanks for this too :D and yea cassettes are the best, keep it real! Whys everybody is riding coasters: hype!
What about dirt riding? Im just starting and you don't do fakies on dirt jumps and I don't usually hear cassettes on them either. I've been back and forth the whole video. Any advice?
dont know how i started watching your old videos but.... this is the video that lead me to your youtuybe and have been a sub since. its crazy to see how far you have come dude all on a bike and videos!!! keep ridin my dude
"Back in the day" we used to ride with coaster brakes, Skyway Tuff II's mostly, all the benifits of a freecoaster, no crank rotation in fakie, silent running and made some tricks a sinch, like no handed cherrypickers n stuff. Downside? you couldn't pedal backwards (made footplants sketchy as hell). I don't remember them having a gap as big as you (Adam) descibed in your vid, a small gap sure but not as much a 1/4 crank. Love the vids/edits, yours and boqer123, they've inspired me to get back up the park........ and then the hospital..... probably )))
I've ridden a freecoaster now for about 6 months, and I decided to throw my cassette wheel back on. Completely changes the way I ride, but I'm really enjoying it! I'm probably just gonna switch back and forth between coaster and cassette
I think I need a free coaster as peddling doesn't help my balance personally but then I am a beginner and just uploaded my first bunny hop video... go me!!!
There's not that much of a difference, most top loads are higher than front load stems but you can easily flip them. Stems come in all shapes and sizes so meaning that it's really just for looks or preference
i started riding bmx a month ago and i use a cassette and when i go backwards it goes backwards faster than i can physically pedal but i like the sound of the cassette is it possible to slow down how fast the cranks go backwards without buying a new hub
+slkndvjkdfl dfkrepf uhm just pedal slower thats the whole point of a cassette with fakies you can control the speed by how fast you pedal backwards try going slower sounds like your trying to roll backwards too fast to learn
+slkndvjkdfl dfkrepf also theres another thing that helps but has draw backs say you run 9 tooth rear driver and 25 tooth sprocket switching to a 28 tooth will make you have to back pedal less to travel the same distance at the same speed also back pedal slower as well but riding normally will be harder as itll be harder to pedal but youll also have a higher top speed before you cant pedal any faster
Another pro for freecoasters is if you hit a street spot, your hub won't alert the rent-a-cops. But this is subjective. You could just go for a quieter hub, but if you have no sound at all, it just eliminates the sound factor of the possibility of getting caught.
I most definitely made that mistake of switching to a freecoaster hoping that it would make fakies easier, but eventually I got used to it. It actually made me ride a cassette even better, idk if that's weird or not lol
I've seen people riding both, its been awhile since I've been around guys streetriding and when I first saw a video of dudes riding fakie for 10-20 feet without backpedaling I knew that the tech had evolved since I had been away.... lol it blew my mind, looks revolutionary, but I hear your points comparing the two. learned a lot thanks
I have the colony free coaster after 3 years of riding cassette they are weird not gonna lie. One thing Adam didn't say but probably knew is that if you ride brakeless you can't control how fast you go backwards on a free coaster on a cassette you have pedal pressure and can use that to slow you down. Another thing it gets a little time getting used to. Like Adam said 3 weeks and then make a choice. But before you go spending 100+$ if you know someone ask if you can try their free coaster
I may be getting a freecoaster soon (i need lhd) and what i did was take the chain off on my cassette hub and try fakies and halfcabs on that and it felt really weird not having peddle pressure (since ur chain is off you have no peddle pressure and it kinda helps simulate a freecoaster) in my opinion this is a good way to test if a freecoaster is good for you
Adam, I have a Fed V3 coaster, and the slack on it is little to nothing. Works as a normal one but the slack you call a negative with my coaster you will not have it. So it really depends on the coaster.
Watching this video after riding a friends coaster made me understand them so much more. Shane Weston said that freecoasters make everything look beautiful, and I completely agree. I do think though, that it is easier to ride a cassette. Coasters feel more clunky and jerky, and cassettes feel much smoother. Anyway, just something to keep in mind.
Would you say the Kink East Coaster freecoaster is a decent choice for a freecoaster? Most of the internals on freecoasters are pretty standard with KHE. Idk which one to buy
im for sure getting the shadow freecoaster complete, and i was wondering how the non drive side hub guard worked... to me in the video it looks like you took the cone nut off and the spacer off and it just sits there.. is that how it is?
Broski got the chrome freecoaster. I have one odyssey hazard lite and I know they have no plans of restocking soon so I’m hanging onto it like my life depends on it 😂 soooo dope I love the chrome.
this morning i was in the process of putting on a new chain, and figured i would try riding my bike chainless for a day. i gotta say, i kinda liked it and have now ordered an odyssey clutch
i had no chain for 1 week before i got mine and when i got it. it only took me like 2 days to get use to the peddling or if that and i was already use to the free coasting. something for other people to try maby
I'm 15 and think of getting into bmx. Is their a difference between flatland bikes and street or like freestyle bikes cause I have a flatland. But I don't want to do flatland so is their a difference? Sorry if that made no sense way so ever!
Yahh, you can look up other flatland videos and see that style of bmx, or you can go the route the majority of bmx riders go, like Adam. Look up www.danscomp.com or www.empirebmx.com and you can maybe see the difference. Just look up some videos and go in depth on them or on those websites and you can see the difference.
Which coaster is better to get the shadow or demolition? I heard its easier to get parts for demolition. since i can only order parts. I have no bike shops around where i live that sell bmx parts of good brands.
I have a few questions and whatnot, I'm a big fan of BMX'ing, I have been doing it since I was 11, I'm now 16, and I have learned a lot. But I know I'm not a "pro" yet. I can just barely land a 360 tire tap, I have a hard time landing footjams and I also can't do tailwhips. I've tried ahrder then anything and I just cant. Any advice?
Mario-Gamer Justin you gotta buy the entire hub. Cassettes will always be cassettes and free coasters will always be free coasters. If you look up a video on the internals of a cassette and a freecoaster you would understand.
The Phenom The Undertaker yeah i know but i saw a title of a video that said how to turn a cassete into a freecoaster and he did it but he was probebly just a troll.i just started learning about internels on a bike and stuff so sorry.
Mario-Gamer Justin nah man it's cool. I know this is an old comment thread so I figured you had figured it out by now, but I'd rather just comment and make sure you knew then just blow it off.
Just got my first legit BMX today along with my best friend. I haven't ridden mine yet but he spent about 2 hours on his and is already not down with the free coaster. We also started riding today.....
Can some help me with a question? I'm getting a new BMX and it comes stalk with a freecoaster can I buy a cassette hub and replace it with eas or without like replacing the whole wheel or something? Thanks I would really appreciate a response.
have you ever got kicked out of a spot just by being too loud? ive never got kicked out. only if you go in a skatepark that is not for bmx. like most of the skateparks here. sucks. but my friends and i did a small hole in a fence in our local skatepark that doesnt allows bmx. so we go through there all the time. but we let one go first so when we throw the bikes over the fence he'll catch them so they wont break or anything.
Mr.bogusbear I would buy another wheel and get a freecoaster hub built into the wheel. It's a lot better than buying new spokes every time you wanna switch.
i was tempted to switch to coaster but mainly for 180 downwhips for how i catch cranks, but thanks for clearing that up! cassette is one for me! :D cause i doubt id like the feel of a free coaster :) thanks Adam!
nice man i might switch to a coster and im thinking of putting on brakes on my bike can you make a video of the benefits of having brakes and why it bad
Hey where do you make our custom tshirts that are so high quality? My friends and i were going to get some just for us but we didnt want to waste our money on something not even that high of quality
On my bmx i have this : 25x9t, semi-sealed cassette hub w/ single wall Alloy rims, 20x2.35” tires, 170mm tubular Chromoly cranks, Wellgo PC pedals. is it good?
Daman Dulay doesn't sound bad man. It's really personal preference. Once you're up into the high end it's all preference and we can fight about it to no end or just try and figure out what works for us.
So from what I'm hearing is that a " freecoaster" is only beneficial to pull off certain tricks. My 22 inch BMX is a cassette, and I've ridden a freecoaster, and can adapt to that bit of slack, but it just isn't worth it for me. I'm an older rider, and if I was starting out brand new I would change to freecoaster. Thanks for the great video dude, I look forward to watching more. Wes Sept
So with my Flybikes free coaster, I can fakie and give a little forward pedal and it will lock up so that the pedals move backwards. Or I can let it free coast. Sometimes it locks when I don’t want it to and for this reason I’d stick with a tried and true cassette.
I can fakie while pedaling backwards but when i land backwards when doings 180s and sometimes i forget to pedal backwards , so im considering trying a free coaster to see if maybe it helps maybe im a lazy piece of crap
i switched to a coaster about maybe 5 months ago they are really fun and I do agree don't get one if you're a beginner I got mine because I like the style ledge tricks like 180 smiths are easier because you don't have to worry about the cranks going back on you also techy tricks are easier for me at least I don't think id ever go back to cassette but its all opinion based everyone rides different great video!!!
Thanks Adam this was exactly the video I was looking for because I'm a beginner rider and my friends keep on telling me to get a freecoaster but I wasn't sure if that was the right thing to do
so on website "LZ BMX" there is or were some CULT VANS bmx tires the discription says that the tires or tire I'd "$27.99 I was wondering if that price is for both tires or just one?
The cassette sound is one of the most satisfying sounds
FAX
I hate that sound
@Lincoln Ransford does it work
@@kawpoy those are bot accounts
Also, having a coaster is like having a 6speed car. Your girlfriend won't ever want to ride it! (Or at least that's the case with Nicole).
Can you do a vid on brakes vs no brakes, or a vid on what to look for when you're buying new parts? That would be awesome! Keep up to good work you're videos are awesome!
I don't know how it is for you but my girlfriend's is not going to be like that .because i have cassette.and i'd expect my woman to like riding free coaster because i feel woman can't not like the same things i like in my opinon(Nothing against woman who don't like free coasters Especially Adam's Girl with all do respect! in case if you guys got the wrong impression of what i said).

can u pedal backwards with a freecoaster
Bmx Markwhiston me looks bmx
I've been using the same cassette hub since 2001. Recently bought a free coaster and within an hour went back to my cassette hub.
Blix Dunn that must be an amazing cassette hub damn what kind is it haha
Odyssey Hazard cassette LHD 48H
Blix Dunn i have the same cassette for my bike i love it
Lol
matt vanbeekveld maintained it after every ride. I no longer ride it due to a taxi hitting me.
If you did a backwards manual with a cassette hub wouldn't it make it a backwards wheelie?
The Pudding Bandit I think so.
No, instead of using preasure to keep the wheel up the wheel is already being kept up, so it's just some movement forced by the already balanced wheel.
Idk if that makes sense
no its just a realy long back lash if your in a cassette
Oh shit
a loud cassette lets people walking know to get the fuck out the way. I need that
I do that. But I paddle backwards so it is louder and faster
Wes R so if I'm going forward on a cassette, I can still pedal backwards?
yes of course
itsCONTROVERSY oh great, I ride enough fixed so that's a relief. Looking to pick up a kink liberty
nah, look at Fit or Cult. the brandon begin or dak frame. any cult bike is dope

i couldn't even watch half of it but then again this is the young lz
I like how RCG FILMS didn't get the joke. still reacted twice.
Hey RCG FILMS, I’m guessing you don’t notice a huge difference when it’s in your back end??
I'm from Europe and really, thanks for speaking a good and well articulated english.
Very useful video, thanks brah !
Sarcasm?
LZ BMX nope !
I actually have a credit card taped to my frame that hits my spokes so I can gave EVEN MORE sound, you have no idea how much that sound amuses me.
also with contactless i can pay with my bike
I rather no sound
Back in the day we used a baseball card
It tried a cheap freecoaster AKA: chainless...and i cant tell you how many times i smashed my knee on the stem😣
Ohhh damn i hate that it feels like I shatter my knee every time
U got to get used to it it took me 5mins to get used to
Do you have a video on no brakes vs brakes? If not, you should consider making one cause I'm curious on which one you think is better and what the pros and cons are of brakes and no brakes.
Adam just saved you from spending 200$ + on a freecoaster
man youre talking so fast :D
im from germany and this was 12 minutes of pure concentration for me to understand this :D but fuck off, thats better english lesson, than 5 hours at the school, so thanks for this too :D
and yea cassettes are the best, keep it real!
Whys everybody is riding coasters: hype!
Kevin Sick :D
Naa was geht? :D
für mich auch lol :D
Das ist Meine spitzer
ich fand es war ok
I had that problem with my knee hitting the stem when I had my freecoaster! It hurts. But then the axle broke and now I got a cassette
Adam when he thought he’d never get a mustache
Ah man. Those were the days. Bmx 24/7, Adam lz and the come up on my TH-cam 25/7
What about dirt riding? Im just starting and you don't do fakies on dirt jumps and I don't usually hear cassettes on them either. I've been back and forth the whole video. Any advice?
Coaster are really fun u will fine out how the hubs works and geg good at it
if you want to see a good dirt rider that uses a coaster watch pat caseys monster dream backyard edits
dont know how i started watching your old videos but.... this is the video that lead me to your youtuybe and have been a sub since. its crazy to see how far you have come dude all on a bike and videos!!! keep ridin my dude
had to check if my video playback speed was set to normal
I had to slow it down. Not hard to follow, just hard to listen to one tone that fast.
"Back in the day" we used to ride with coaster brakes, Skyway Tuff II's mostly, all the benifits of a freecoaster, no crank rotation in fakie, silent running and made some tricks a sinch, like no handed cherrypickers n stuff.

i really dont know much but, is a cassettes similar to a fixed gear bicycle?
Julio Garcia Naa, cassette is just a normal bicycle hub that can coast
+LZ BMX I just got a hype. CO and going to skate park
I've ridden a freecoaster now for about 6 months, and I decided to throw my cassette wheel back on. Completely changes the way I ride, but I'm really enjoying it! I'm probably just gonna switch back and forth between coaster and cassette
I think I need a free coaster as peddling doesn't help my balance personally but then I am a beginner and just uploaded my first bunny hop video... go me!!!
you dont need one... u might want one but should never need one
One thing i noticed is that i could sometimes do pedal pressure tricks when i never move my feet backwards. So there is no slack
can you do front load vs bottom load stem?
There's not that much of a difference, most top loads are higher than front load stems but you can easily flip them. Stems come in all shapes and sizes so meaning that it's really just for looks or preference
i started riding bmx a month ago and i use a cassette and when i go backwards it goes backwards faster than i can physically pedal but i like the sound of the cassette is it possible to slow down how fast the cranks go backwards without buying a new hub

Freecoaster is the stick of BMX, not everyone can ride/drive one. I enjoyed the blow off valve of chain slack haha.
Yahhh boi
You should do a video on what are the advantages and disadvantages of riding street , park , dirt
you inspired me to ride and learn ima going to continue practicing everyday to be my best
Iv been watching you since 2015 and tomorrow I finally get my first freecoaster and your an inspiration Adam 👌🏻
Another pro for freecoasters is if you hit a street spot, your hub won't alert the rent-a-cops. But this is subjective. You could just go for a quieter hub, but if you have no sound at all, it just eliminates the sound factor of the possibility of getting caught.
If you put really new grease in a cassette it will be silent if thats what you fancy.
+Harry G Bofinger doesnt always work itll make it quieter but to make it silent like dead silent certain hubs slip if you put that much grease in them
Makes me happy to know you will probably switch back. Cassettes made your videos so much fun to watch
The time ADAM LZ was cool
He’s even cooler now, wym
I most definitely made that mistake of switching to a freecoaster hoping that it would make fakies easier, but eventually I got used to it. It actually made me ride a cassette even better, idk if that's weird or not lol
Nicole vs Adam Game of BIKE
JoshuaLeeFilms that wold be hilarious
I've seen people riding both, its been awhile since I've been around guys streetriding and when I first saw a video of dudes riding fakie for 10-20 feet without backpedaling I knew that the tech had evolved since I had been away.... lol it blew my mind, looks revolutionary, but I hear your points comparing the two. learned a lot thanks

Very true! Thanks for the input, I knew I would forget something
yup.... but i think its more work
then there you have another idea!
I may be getting a freecoaster soon (i need lhd) and what i did was take the chain off on my cassette hub and try fakies and halfcabs on that and it felt really weird not having peddle pressure (since ur chain is off you have no peddle pressure and it kinda helps simulate a freecoaster) in my opinion this is a good way to test if a freecoaster is good for you
I have the primo freemix pro freecoaster
+Cole Darman I have the Dartmoor RIOT one
Adam, I have a Fed V3 coaster, and the slack on it is little to nothing. Works as a normal one but the slack you call a negative with my coaster you will not have it. So it really depends on the coaster.
Now you driffter..give me your rim cassette 😅😅😅
Can someone explain what happens when you were to put the three washers on and remove most of the slack? I thought that would be really beneficial?
back then when this chanel used to be good!
Watching this video after riding a friends coaster made me understand them so much more. Shane Weston said that freecoasters make everything look beautiful, and I completely agree. I do think though, that it is easier to ride a cassette. Coasters feel more clunky and jerky, and cassettes feel much smoother. Anyway, just something to keep in mind.

Would you say the Kink East Coaster freecoaster is a decent choice for a freecoaster? Most of the internals on freecoasters are pretty standard with KHE. Idk which one to buy
honestly free coasters make fakieing wayyyy easier
JDBaseBallKid14 not imo. I like having to pedal when doing fakies
Its opinion based I fined it easier but my friend can’t use it for shit 😂
im for sure getting the shadow freecoaster complete, and i was wondering how the non drive side hub guard worked... to me in the video it looks like you took the cone nut off and the spacer off and it just sits there.. is that how it is?
Broski got the chrome freecoaster. I have one odyssey hazard lite and I know they have no plans of restocking soon so I’m hanging onto it like my life depends on it 😂 soooo dope I love the chrome.
Well.. are Ezra convertible Freecoaster hubs good to have?? It's two in one ...if you don't like Freecoaster then just switch it to cassette..?
I’m new in bmx but I have been riding free coaster ever since I have been able to ride a bike, but thank you for your opinions on the hubs
this morning i was in the process of putting on a new chain, and figured i would try riding my bike chainless for a day. i gotta say, i kinda liked it and have now ordered an odyssey clutch
Thanks for the comment on learning fackie. I had to relearn fackie to a certain extent when I put on a free coaster wheel.
i had no chain for 1 week before i got mine and when i got it. it only took me like 2 days to get use to the peddling or if that and i was already use to the free coasting. something for other people to try maby

Spencer Lindaman ok Thank you
***** thanks!
***** another question is the frames different? Cause on my flat land do u think I could convert it into a street?
***** ok Thanks
Which coaster is better to get the shadow or demolition? I heard its easier to get parts for demolition. since i can only order parts. I have no bike shops around where i live that sell bmx parts of good brands.
Highly impressed with your vivid and detailed advice. I completely support you and all of your vids. Crazy thanks fam!
Great video. As a returning newbie (from the 1980s) to BMX riding street, it sounds like a cassette is a good way to start up again?
Would you consider bringing back the Greg shirts?
If my hub makes noise only when I hold the pedals still is that a free coaster and if I can fakie without needing to pedal backwards
I have a few questions and whatnot, I'm a big fan of BMX'ing, I have been doing it since I was 11, I'm now 16, and I have learned a lot. But I know I'm not a "pro" yet. I can just barely land a 360 tire tap, I have a hard time landing footjams and I also can't do tailwhips. I've tried ahrder then anything and I just cant. Any advice?
Wait so a cassette hub you can’t peddle backwards or if you stop pedalling it carries on spinning or does it stop rotating?
Are plastic pegs better than metal? I know they're quieter than metal pegs but which one is better. What are some positive and negatives about both.
Adam, would you ever consider trying any flatland??
Adam.. to be honest i liked your style a lot better when you had a cassette. Cant wait to see you switch back.
Would it be possible to switch your normal cassette hub into a free coaster for cheaper? or is that impossible?
Mario-Gamer Justin you gotta buy the entire hub. Cassettes will always be cassettes and free coasters will always be free coasters. If you look up a video on the internals of a cassette and a freecoaster you would understand.
The Phenom The Undertaker yeah i know but i saw a title of a video that said how to turn a cassete into a freecoaster and he did it but he was probebly just a troll.i just started learning about internels on a bike and stuff so sorry.
Mario-Gamer Justin nah man it's cool. I know this is an old comment thread so I figured you had figured it out by now, but I'd rather just comment and make sure you knew then just blow it off.
The Phenom The Undertaker yeah.
so can i just swap out the cassette for a freecoaster of the same mm?
I can pedal backward when going backwards and I can spin backward freely when going forward. Which on do I have ❓
Hey Adam I have a question I'm right foot forward but feel better grinding on the left is that normal
does anyone have any tips to get a stripped out stem off? the pinch bolts and stem cap are stripped
I'm starting bmxing and I was wondering what bike I should get or should I build a custom?
Hi,
Question:
Alluminum rims...Are they good for BMX doing tricks???
Adam, Do you have any videos of you riding a Freecoaster?
I was wondering if it is better to try to set up a new bike with a free coaster or can I set up my 2012 eastern cobra with a free coaster?
no spacers demo rotator things a tank, i love that slack and speed isnt an issue around a month for me atleast.
Is a freecoaster the type where you petal backwards and that's your brake?
Just got my first legit BMX today along with my best friend. I haven't ridden mine yet but he spent about 2 hours on his and is already not down with the free coaster. We also started riding today.....
Hey Adam i bought 2 duo tan wall tires, 2 tubes, a gift bag, chain kit, and i also got a shadow conspiracy seat post combo. + Keep up bmxing!!
I have a freecoaster from my flatland bike i built like 5 years ago. Still works like a charm.
Can some help me with a question? I'm getting a new BMX and it comes stalk with a freecoaster can I buy a cassette hub and replace it with eas or without like replacing the whole wheel or something? Thanks I would really appreciate a response.
have you ever got kicked out of a spot just by being too loud?
ive never got kicked out. only if you go in a skatepark that is not for bmx. like most of the skateparks here. sucks. but my friends and i did a small hole in a fence in our local skatepark that doesnt allows bmx. so we go through there all the time. but we let one go first so when we throw the bikes over the fence he'll catch them so they wont break or anything.
Dude idk why, but this popped up on my reccomended. You've come a looong fkn way. 🤙🏽
so if i wanna switch, do i just get a free coaster or is it more complicated ?
Mr.bogusbear I would buy another wheel and get a freecoaster hub built into the wheel. It's a lot better than buying new spokes every time you wanna switch.
Hey Adam I know you uploaded this video a year ago but want is your opinion on a sprocket being in the left or right side.
Peyton Fleming depends which side your pegs are
Adam man my pawls are like broke along with the freewheel do u no if the freewheel kit has them or what should I do
Hey Adam how did you get your older bike that gold color was it a sticker
i was tempted to switch to coaster but mainly for 180 downwhips for how i catch cranks, but thanks for clearing that up! cassette is one for me! :D cause i doubt id like the feel of a free coaster :) thanks Adam!
nice man i might switch to a coster and im thinking of putting on brakes on my bike can you make a video of the benefits of having brakes and why it bad
Hey where do you make our custom tshirts that are so high quality? My friends and i were going to get some just for us but we didnt want to waste our money on something not even that high of quality

Daman Dulay doesn't sound bad man. It's really personal preference. Once you're up into the high end it's all preference and we can fight about it to no end or just try and figure out what works for us.
Daniel Gebhart Thanks
get rid of the well go pedals they'll break so easily
Gavin_BMX Which ones do you recommend?
+Daman Dulay I unfortunately chose the Odyssey Twisted PCs, do not make my mistake get shadow ravagers

I'm an older rider, and if I was starting out brand new I would change to freecoaster. Thanks for the great video dude, I look forward to watching more. Wes Sept
Lets just say i'll be just coasting and not doing tricks would this make it so the freecoasters wouldn't need that much maintenance
So with my Flybikes free coaster, I can fakie and give a little forward pedal and it will lock up so that the pedals move backwards.
Or I can let it free coast. Sometimes it locks when I don’t want it to and for this reason I’d stick with a tried and true cassette.
+Adam LZ looking to build up a new bike. This helped a lot. Can I get a link to where I can buy this? The same as ur setup. (including the same tires)
I can fakie while pedaling backwards but when i land backwards when doings 180s and sometimes i forget to pedal backwards , so im considering trying a free coaster to see if maybe it helps
maybe im a lazy piece of crap
How come there is only a blue tyedye on your store when in your bunny hop tutorial you were wearing a green one?
i switched to a coaster about maybe 5 months ago they are really fun and I do agree don't get one if you're a beginner I got mine because I like the style ledge tricks like 180 smiths are easier because you don't have to worry about the cranks going back on you also techy tricks are easier for me at least I don't think id ever go back to cassette but its all opinion based everyone rides different great video!!!
@adamLZ i just got a freecoaster and it makes a sound as i quit pedalling and it sounds like somethings broken or breaking
Thanks Adam this was exactly the video I was looking for because I'm a beginner rider and my friends keep on telling me to get a freecoaster but I wasn't sure if that was the right thing to do
Adam I'm thinking about making the switch to freecoaster, but I don't know what kind of hub I should get... Any suggestions?
so on website "LZ BMX" there is or were some CULT VANS bmx tires the discription says that the tires or tire I'd "$27.99 I was wondering if that price is for both tires or just one?
one
