- For today's Tech Thursday we dissect both a freecoaster hub and a a cassette hub! For this tutorial we have a Primo Freemix Freecoaster wheel versus the Primo Remix Cassette wheel.
Please be very careful when attempting to take apart your own hubs at home.
As always, let me know if you have any questions in the comment section!

focus alfredo focusssss
solid complement to your other video on freecoasters, I don't usually deal with the small bmx drivers so it's cool to see the guts. nice to hear this stuff from someone with real technical knowledge too instead of just "yeah this one goes clickety clack it's rad"
Imnotgonnalie yeah you're right. alfredo, come through bro
Lmao 😂🤣😂
When you started using that glass counter-top as a workbench when refitting the bearing, I was waiting for the worst to happen :| Nice vlog Alfredo! :D
Yo, definitely on point with the guts and function between the two. Good break down. I say everyone try a "cassette" and a "free coaster" so you can use both. Be versatile!
I wish we had " freecoaster" back in 1985! Sometimes I'd ride coaster brake to prevent the crank from rotating backwards when trying to do other maneuvers! I want to get " freecoaster" on my 22 inch! That's the bike I'm tricking out, I sure don't know it all, and I love your videos, thanks man!
Please forgive my ignorance, but what is the benefit of female hubs? You know what I'm asking right?
Old school cassette and freewheel for life. I do mostly old school flatland and they are perfect for me. I tried a freecoaster and it was terrible how it slipped I actually thought it was slipping and broken. I also like the noise of a freewheel and cassette, and pedaling backwards helps with balance and looks cooler.
You said some very good things in this video. I would recommend this to anybody who's interested in comparing the two hubs.
Thanks a lot my man! I appreciate that!
Although I know these work. I still watched the whole thing. Your way of explaining things is great!
So essentially, just get two bikes, one coaster and one cassette. Problem solved!
BOOM! haha
Or just get both of the wheels
wiiiiiseeeeee!!!!!!
Marco Frissen that’s what I did
Just two rear wheels and swap...I keep a 16t freewheel equipped rear wheel to swsp out with my 9t freecoaster regularly
U had me nervous hitting the axle with a hammer with the wheel laying on that glass display case!😱😱😱🤯🤣🤣🤣
Hahaha it’s much tougher than you think
I ride a Saltplus Trapez rear hub, its is built like a cassette hub with springs, Pawls and an engagement ring inside the hub its self. However it comes with 2 sets of springs and pawls and one clutch plate, one set for freecoaster mode and one set for cassette mode, the only thing you have to do is swap them over and also flip the clutch plate 180 degrees. This will change the hub from a freecoaster to cassette mode in just a few minutes. Best hub I've ever ridden.
Brochacho Brunch !!! pretty easy to tell which ones female or male ones longer hahaa
I got a Primo Remix V2 in red, love your videos, keep up the good work!
From all that new to me info, I think there are only two reasons a free coaster might be of use to me. When I'm moving it around in my apartment so I don't get my shins hit, while I'm backing it out of a tight spot. And I think I'd like the quietness of it.
But the lack of instant engagement is a real downside.
The cassette is just a built in freewheel, so it would be much more familiar to me.
Thanks for the informative video. 😎👍
always put a nut on the end of the threads when knocking a axle in. it'll stop the threads been damaged 👍 and you then can hit it with anything to hand 😎
I ride a freecoster and I didn't know how it worked until I saw this video Thanks for teaching I love your videos
I'm ordering a freecoaster wheel tomorrow but I have so much respect for you riding a cassete
YOU .....GUYS.....ARE.....KILLING....IT!!
Best explainer yet. What is a planetary? Been hearing a good deal as a newbie.
100% correct, i rode a cassette for maybe 4 years and once in a while i would try out my friends freecoaster bikes to see how it feels, after a while of thinking, i decided to get my own freecoaster and in a couple days i got used to it and i was as good as i was with a cassette, so yes start off with a cassette if you're a beginner, get used to fakies, try out a friends freecoaster bike, and if you like it then go for a freecoaster, dont go straight the a coaster just cuz u think its easier
Abraham Parra what if i don't have friends?
I am going to start out with a cassette, great info Alfredo.
Dude I can finally fix my cassette, thanks for the link!👌🏻
Stoked! Not a problem bud! +Bobby Hall
what was wrong with it?
damn fredo ive been a viewer for a while just subbed hella educational and i just got the freemix.
Whew doggie! That is one chubby kitty. That cat has been SMASHIN' the kitty-crunchin's. Gettin' down on the meowy chowy
Alfredo mancuso you should make a video about bar sizes. It could really help me and others.
Epic bmx is the best sitcom on anything
For tech videos please improve the camera focus. Autofocus screws it up.
one thing I know for sure about freecoaster is that if you forget you have slack and put a lot of pressure you will just pedal without in gage you will hit your knee on the stem😂😥
truuu😂
Tony the cat should drive your car with Sasha.....😂😂
FREECOASTER ALL THE WAY
Daniel Lubben cassete biatch
I have an Ezra freecoaster with modded slack(since the max slack is like 1/8 of a crank) and it's amazing since it's pretty much a cassete in which the pawls compress when going backwards
awesome vid learned alot always wanted to try a free coaster
Super explanation, thank you very much!
I still dont know what to buy a freescoaster or a cassette wheel which one would be better? And theres options of LDH AND RHD? IDK WHAT THAT IS
Goddamn 4 minutes in again wtf I'm on a mufuckin roll. Perfect video I was wondering the difference now I'm good. Thanks Alf
you're a legend :)
alf man focus your camera my shitty eyes cant handle this
Sorry about that! +Greg Brown
it's good i just think for those close ups you gotta get crispy with the focus, especially on tech thursdays
just wanted to comment that. do some focus for us Alf :D
I rode both and they are both great. Freecoster does not mess you up so fast on a fakie, but cassette can give you a lot of energy and stability on the padles, what can also be very awesome.
But I do not remember to have no axel sickicking out like you got on your cassette , you really screw the little screw out and then put there a peg onto it ?
This is weird - this lil screw has to be damn brave and strong hahaha.
I got a primo remix chrome rear wheel
solid choice!
arrrrrg the focus. Anyways good video just that damn ficus was driving me crazy.
I like to fakie fast that's why I use a freecoaster and I didn't notice a difference riding dirt but I have kneed the stem a couple times at skateparks
Still waiting on the how to fix a chain. Soon Alfredo? Love the how to series or tech Thursday's.
Which is MORE EFFICIENT?
hey Alfredo maybe for a tech Thursday you can talk about which is better for running pegs male or female axles?
Im confused now, so apparently theres cassettes that dont make the clicking noise? I just got a new bike, Sunday blueprint and i noticed that its super quiet. I just thought it was cause new tech. I kinda miss the loud whirring like on my old diamondback juju. The new bike is soooo so nice though, i really cant complain cause i love it.
Yes! They make silent ones!
I got my first female hub and accidentally tightened one of the threads to tight is there a trick to get it out ?
currently run the cassette remix😊, nothing like hearing that ticking...music to the ears.
Couldn't agree with you more! +Robert Wright
I'm quite new to coasters but i can tell you that it's much more fun than cassette (well for me, just my opinion).
Also fakies are much easier for me and no matter how fast you go you can 180 and fakie like it's nothing.
But at first it feels like you never rode BMX before and it's awkward when you can't even properly bunny hop or anything easy (because you can really mess up the landing)
I think I'm right in thinking that as I've now seen the whole thing
very helpful . thank you Alfredo
Glad you enjoyed it :)
I'm watching your Videos all the way from ( Ireland ). be proud of what you guys do .. respect to you Alfredo . keep up the good work
i knew this already but watching it anyways cause i like your vids lmao
also im rocking a primo remix male lol
Alfredo the fixer! 😂😂😂 nice video! i ride cassette, dont have money for a free 😂😂
Freecoaster!
So with the coaster do you have to peddle a bit before it starts driving again?
My boy gave me a freecoaster and I keep banging my knee on the stem how do I fix this slack?? I still don't get it can someone please explain. I've rode cassette my whole life but the only good wheel I have access to is a freecoaster thanks man.

Ryan Owens how you feeling with the free coaster, I’m planning to get a coaster but I’m not sure, I’ve rode cassette my whole life, is it worth making the change?
Ride someone's bike who has a coaster. That'll help you decide whether you'd want one or not
Alfredo. I'm just about to buy a complete. would you recommend a freecoaster or a cassette to a brand new rider?
Honestly, cassette just because you can learn how to fakie while pedaling back
Alfredo Mancuso thanks dude
any time :)
good explanation!!! cassette its more rocker :)
I'm so pissed I'm late but hey Alfredo love the channel dude!!
The main thing is
Free coasters-
Cost a shit ton more
Dont have to pedal backwards
Cant hear the beautiful ticking sound
Cassette-
Just the best wheel
That Kid Named CJ 999 park riders... fcking hate em
Nice video. So a 1983 diamond back, redline, skyway were all free coasters? Back then? Think all MTB these days are cassette. So why are bmx still running free coasters? Thanks
Yes
crank flips are the bomb.com on cassette
I run cassette but I have a question Alf.
Can I make the slack (idk how to write it lol) in the freecoaster exactly the same as the cassette?
Erickridebikes not exactly, but pretty close.
Erickridebikes
I ride the salt plus trapez freecoaster which is a "hybrid" freecoaster that uses pawls and can be switched between cassette and freecoaster; because of its design, even with the maximum slack ring, the slack is pretty short (aka the hub engages at 43.3 degrees/your pedals don't move very far before it starts going)
I assume you ask this because you want to have the benefits of a freecoaster (not having to pedal while doing a fakie) but not have to deal with the slack when you pedal forward.
Like the comment above said, you can do this, but kind of ...
You'll freecoast when you fakie but if your slack is short, you have to be VERY careful of moving your feet forward and engaging the hub.
I hope this made sense hahah
gienry Thanks for your answer!
I was just being a little bit curious about the slack thing lol Idk why but I don't like freecoasters for me #cassettegang
Marcus Murray Thanks for your answer man!
+Erickridebikes yeah it's really weird getting used to
Cassete for life bruh
Hey Alfredo I was wondering what are your opinions on metal vs plastic pedals. The pins on my plastic pedals are gone and I'm going to get some new ones but not sure whether to get metal or plastic pedals. Which kind do you ride? What are the advantages and disadvantages of both? Thanks
I need a freecoaster wheel, which one do you recommend for me to buy?
Thanks
dream to come out from Toronto and meet everyone at OSS and buy a new bike
We used to take the brake shoes out of the cheap old rims to make them free coaster.. So cassette gives you drive back pedaling ? I am confused how it turns the chain basically????
hey alf can you make a video on hom to adjust slack on a clutch hub??i only get a quarter crank of slack and when i go to fakie it reengages because it doesnt have enough slack in it
I rode my friends free coaster and I found it easier to fakie on it
You always seem stoned lol even though you don't smoke much
cassette!
all day!
Alfredo Mancuso Wassup
Danny Rodriguez cassette
🙏🏻+drift gaming _____
Alfredo Mancuso love cassette
Thx chose ur video cus I seen u in HicksfiLm
I’m the only one in my squad on a cassette but I’m insistent on learning to do more fakie before I make the decision on weather or not to change to a coaster
What does it mean when ur freecoaster disengages and engages at random times when you don't want it to??
I have a question not report, but I have my 180, almost 360 and I have my fullcab and other basics tricks. What tricks should i learned after that? Thx every answer plz 😏
Good video
What are the Pros and Cons of ridiing with a little amount of slack aswell as riding with a lot of slack?? and what is the perfect amount of slack to ride at ?
Matt Todd it's all about how you ride I run a lot of slack but I don't have to worry about the hub engaging and throwing me off the bike. But if you run a little you could move your feet and it would engage
hey Alfredo do you know if the stranger ballast cassette hubs are any good like the primo remix hubs? Since they come from the same distribution??
Hey alt if you start Bmx should you ride a cassette to start off or a freecoaster to start off
Can you pedal backwards with a free coaster thought
is there a definitive way to tell if a cassette hub has sealed or unsealed bearings by looking at it? I wanna know before i start taking apart my back hub to find out its unsealed. Bike is a 2010 subrosa
Are Rant Part On V2 wheels any good? I'm building my first bmx.
could someone please tell me the order that the spacers are suppose to go on with the freemix? there are two normal washers an the one with like roller things an then there's one with a smaller circumference
Nvm i found a link online, but in the proccess of putting the axle back in i knocked out the bearing on the drive side an put back in the opposite way on accident, shouldnt matter right?
I ride the profile Z coaster so sorta both :D
I'm not into trick riding, but sometimes get tired of my GT'S very loud cassette. I don't like the super huge free coaster hub though😅!
Hey Alfredo, just recently stumbled onto you channel and am now a subscriber 👍🏻. Was wondering if you or anyone else had a recommendation for a good cassette? I've been out of riding for about 6 or 7 years (I'm 30 now) and have just recently been trying to get back into it. My biggest request with a cassette is that doesn't skip (that absolutely drives me crazy). Are you familiar with the BSD backstreet pro cassette at all or any of the BSD product? Was kinda interested in that hub or the odyssey anti gram. Keep up the good work with the videos man 👍🏻
What'd you end up getting?
can you put a sealed bearing in a cassette hub if it has unsealed bearing driver
Love your videos keep it up❤️❤️
Thanks so much man! +Rope GG
I bought a cassette hub and it pedals backwards always so is it left hand drive how can I fix this?
can you make a how to maintain cassette hub video?
Sure thing!
thx, i really need it
Alfredo!!!!! ❤️️👍
ami megusta mas el cassette porque yo la tengo y meva muy bien con el cassette es muy resistente ☺
Alfredo you are italoamericano?
Cassette life
How do you engage a free coaster
it engages at about a 1/4 of a crank
Can you please do a vid on hubguards like forreal that shit is so confusing idk what will fit my hubs and what won't
Nice vid
Demolition plate or crank sister plate?
Is there a big difference between right or left drive systems.
Grunge Valley YoYo Shop they feel the same when you’re riding the only reason to change sides is you want the chain opposite of the side you’ll do most of your grinding on
Can you adjust the sapcer to no slack at all?
Odyssey Clutch FTW
