When it comes to BMX bikes, one decision you need to make is between a cassette, free coaster, or a new entrant in the field - the planetary hub. In this video, we dive into the pros and cons of each and help you make an informed decision for your next upgrade.
Cassettes are the go-to for most racers or riders who love tire taps, offering quick engagement and the need to pedal backwards when you fakie. On the other hand, free coasters, favored by street riders, allow you to fakie without pedaling, making backlashes and fakie manuals easier and adding a different style to your ride. But there's a third option emerging in the BMX scene, and we're excited about it - the planetary hub.
Touted as a hybrid between a cassette and a free coaster, planetary hubs eliminate the slack that free coasters have while still allowing you to fakie without pedaling backwards. In our discussion, we share our personal experience with BSD revolutions and other options like Colony's and Alienation's versions.
If you're still considering a free coaster, we discuss good options like the We The People hybrid and the Odyssey Clutch free coaster. Before you make the leap, though, we encourage you to consider the planetary hub - it might just change your riding experience for the better.
Remember, the choice is yours and depends on your style and comfort. This video is aimed to provide you with detailed information to make the best choice.

Freecoaster all the way…love the silence while I’m gliding along👌🏼
Ive just started riding again after 20+yrs, and built myself up a t1... decided to go the colony swarm hub, I'm glad i did its bloody awesome. Never rode a freecoaster back in the day, but always wanted too. It is taking a little bit of getting used to riding on, however it is a lot of fun (also though never realised how much back pedaling managed the balancing in fakie)
On a separate note..... thank you for uploading all these videos, they have been really useful in assisting the process of starting to ride again. Removing bad habits, and replacing them with better technique has helped a lot.
Whats your.opinion about swarm fc? Im about to get one but need more feedback so i can decide
@yudhafirmansyah2174 mate tbh i wasnt sure how it was going to go, but its actually really nice to ride. The fc side of it took some time to get used to, apparently pedaling backwards with a normal hub does a heap for balance. In saying that, it really doesnt seem to be too hard. The only issue i have is how quiet it turned out to be, however that has absolutely no sway what so ever on how it performs. Really happy i decided to get one, and have no plans to change it out any time soon 👌👌
*disclaimer* my abilities are pretty low, so i dont know just how much weight my opinion on it will hold. That and its my first time running a brakeless setup, so probably not the best decision for getting back into it after 15-20yrs and with a stuffed back from my time in the military 😅
@@dvous1 ah man thanks for your feedback i really appreciate it. I jut order the colony swarm. Cant wait to shred . Cheers from indonesia 👍
@yudhafirmansyah2174 hell yeah thats awesome man 🤙 hope you have a tonne of fun riding on it, 🍻🍻🍻 cheers from aus
Think I’m going to try a planetary hub
Also, many people have trouble going from cassette to freecoaster, on rollouts. Cause they use to relay on pedal pressure to turn around
I went from loving the sound of a loud cassette to the complete opposite the cassette is fun in its own way but having the quiet bike is a plus for me especially when it comes to sneaking around
makes sense now, in the mid-late 80's a freecoaster had 2 small knobs you could dial in or out to choose between coaster brake or freewheel
Planetary Hub - First he says There are some bugs with it , and then goes on to say it's very reliable. It was very reliable, there wouldn't be any bugs.
That's not true at all. A bug doesn't mean it's not gonna work.
0:21 i want a free toaster
Do I get a free loaf of bread with my free toaster?? 0:21secs
Improves your rideing,when u go back and forth,thats the one.
i think profile came with something like this years ago around 2015 if i am not wrong they called it the Z coaster , if i remember correctly it even had cassete sound (dont hold me on that one)
Does a thread type is a cheap to maintenance?
Is the planatery hub silent like a free coaster?
The bsd nope the other i don't know
No it sounds like a casette
Sounds like a more quiet casette
@@xander_the_rider9706 Do your pedals stay engaged? like if I'm rolling forward, feet on the pegs, can I set the pedals and they stay where I set them?
Planetary freecoaster I wouldn't go back to cassate
I'm kinda old, 43, and looking to get into BMX. I like the Kink Whip but it's $800 here in Canada. There is a 1 year old Switch in pretty much new condition I can buy for $500.
I like the style and dual paint on this bike but I'm unsure about the freecoaster. What should I do?
You aren't old. I'm 54 and just getting back into in after an almost 40 yr hiatus!
@dontdoitbennie Right on man! I ended up buying an Eastern Nightwasp and I'm having lots of fun just learning the basics but I did just put it away for the winter as we have snow now. Can't wait for spring already lol
@@av_rob79 I bought a Stolen Spade but seriously considering a Flybikes Omega. This winter thing sure does put a damper on things though!
What are the bugs???
Silent hub?
Cassette of course! Freecoaster suck!
That discord banned me for being LGBT
They sound based.
