A long time in the making, the Hybrid Freecoaster combines over 10 years of R&D into the concept of making a superior functioning Freecoaster hub with all the weight, durability and functional benefits of a cassette hub. Instead of the heavy and unreliable clutch style mechanism most Freecoasters use, the Hybrid is based on the principle of a cassette hub with a few small changes to make it work as an incredibly dependable and highly functional Freecoaster Hub.
The Hybrid Freecoaster utilises our patented new double slack system which allows the hub to have a much larger (and adjustable) slack setting than any cassette-based Freecoaster system before it. Combined with our MagnaDrive magnetic powered driver for superior pawl retention, our wave spring friction system and a super durable 14mm heat-treated axle, the Hybrid Freecoaster is a no-nonsense, hassle-free Freecoaster hub, designed to be tightened up and ridden without any need to adjust or fine-tune. Tested for years and approved by the Wethepeople team, we wanted to create a lighter, stronger, less complicated Freecoaster hub that any rider could easily adapt to using.
As if all that wasn’t enough, the Hybrid is easily convertible into a regular Cassette hub by simply installing the Cassette springs and retightening the hub. Essentially you get two hubs in one, as well as the benefit of being able to switch the hub to your preferred setting with easy. With most of the team and many other riders switching over to the Hybrid Freecoaster, the question is, when will you?

SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY 💰
these finally went on sale on dans comp finnaly got one
The recent innovations in the freecoaster space is phenomenal to see. Please make a 16 tooth cog ⚙️ for bikes running 44:16 gearing 👍
Bmx with 44:16 gearing?
@@komarbmx That's how BMX began, and freestyle too. Bob Haro was riding 44:16
@@AmazingChinaToday yeah i know but now is ussually used 25-30:9
Dave, I think there is a fluffy cat perched on your chin! :P I really like the smallest slack setting, that's impressive. As is the price.
More like a dead rodent.
@@wethepeoplebikebrand Lol, savage!
Got mine two days ago and it's the best i've ever had
where did u order it
Mine came in acouple days ago not laced yet friday it will be n hypeflare I got mine from SkatePro $180 CAD
It's on it's way boyyys!!!
My hybrid hub is coming in by the end of the month
stoked!
@@wethepeoplebikebrand totally!! You guys make the best bikes props to you guys over there
Do you have it yet? I’m getting one when it’s back in stock
@@blvck______ oh yeah such a nice hub I got it with eclat camber rims to lace to going on my 2016 wtp reason
This is great advertising if I've ever seen one
The question is if the hub is set up in the small slack setting will it engage when accidentally pedaling forward while in a fakie
No, the small gap allows enough so that this cant happen.We have riders riding this hub with the small slack setting with zero issues.
@@wethepeoplebikebrand looking forward to a review video on it. Always been a fan of Wethepeople parts. Still running the first OG supreme hub.
WTP 잘보고 잘쓰고 있습니다🎉🎉
I've got to try one of these hubs they feel great if my z coaster ever dies this is next
I didn’t understand something but this video was interesting!!!
What setting does each team rider have their hubs set at, would make a very interesting video.
I’m sure a lot of consumers maybe wondering if it hasn’t already been addressed. 🍻😄
I got side to side play and wanted to ask how to stop it. Love the freecoaster
In the next upgrade of battleship you should put this hub
Heute kurz gefahren: wollte treten und hab ins leere getreten und bin voll auf die fresse geflogen
Incredible engineering,but one question. In the freecoaster mode,while in fakie is it possible to pedal forwards?(aka moonwalk)
The hub works like a traditional freecoaster in this respect, if you pedal pass the (large) gap it will engage.
I bought a sinus. It includes the hybrid hub. The bike shop said it does not come with the spring to convert to cassette. Is this correct? Hard to find info
Mine makes a strange noise when coasting forward in freecoaster mode. Right before the engagement point you can hear the pawls hitting the ratchet ring lightly. Any idea how to get that fixed? Other than that it’s a solid hub.
I have the bsd revolution hub and it makes kinda the same exact sound. It sounds way too loud when it "engages" to pedal. I saw on a bsd comment it is a normal thing for those type of hubs. Some sort a misdesigning or so
Wtp is the best bike for me its just kinda hard to buy one in ph a lot more expensive but worth the money
come on man,wheres the 2023 bike check on all your bikes and new gear,use to love your wtp videos on product lines
Front hub to match coming anytime soon?
so if you change to cassette do you have to peddle backwards in order to ride fakie or does it run like a free coaster
The hub in fc mode with the largest slack setting always prematurely engages as if it’s in the smallest slack setting. Anyone else have this issue?
I have that same issue, I just emailed WTP support. I know it is because the slack ring is sticking, so I am looking to possibly get a replacement.
Unfortunately the design of the slack ring doesn't allow as much slack as say the Helix V2 freecoaster. However you can modify it to come close to the Helix V2, it requires removing one of the tabs on the slack ring, this does cause it to not sit correctly, but i've had good success with it. But only do this if you have a spare slack ring as it needs to be done right, otherwise you risk the slack ring binding up on itself.
My issue with the Hybrid (and i have three of them, two in use), that the engagement is too weak and has failed to engage many times. Servicing this hub is far worse than regular KHE style hubs. I've had this issue from new on two different Hybrids so far, and after lubrication with trying different lubricants on different parts of the hub, spring stretching too, i always end up with poor engagement after a few months. I run max slack which i suspect may add to the increased lightly hood of failed engagement.
Today i'm trying two springs, back to back in the hub, and using TF2 oil on the internal of the slack ring, with the external of the slack ring dry. Previously i used TF2 teflon spray.
The smaller slack it is like a similar coaster or more like a cassete?
Hello! Where can I buy a hybrid hub in USA?
Do magnets loses their magnetic property from getting impacts or blows.. example if they fall, they become weaker. For how long do you guys think these magnets would last?
No. We've been testing the magnetic driver for years now without any issues. No reason why they won't stop working from impacts/prolonged use.
Last 3 questions, is there a certain RPM/speed that the pawls will open without pedaling due to centrifugal force? If it is too fast for a bike, then how much is that and where can i buy?
@@karl11 The guys in the lab calculated it. Yeah you're gonna need to be going at least 357mph around a banked vertical corner to have a chance of that happening. Unless you're planning to tie yourself to a jet engine you should be good.
@@wethepeoplebikebrand underrated comment
Can you help me get one? Cause i am in Bahrain(middle east) and there is no bmx shop here only mtb and roadbikes.
What degrees of free run on 25T sproket?
70-90, or more?
That's a secret
Just ordered one!
What size spokes will I need?
I have a Eclat trippin rim and will do 3 cross
Ask a bmx shop
since it has cassette sized flanges, you can use 184mm spokes for both sides. this works 90% of the time. 182mm for pretty much all freecoasters (both sides as well)
Depends on your rim. Check a bike shop or buy a basic slide rule and use an online calculator
best hub
Your guy looks like Jack Dorsey !
WTP Love? wtp future
What steel guards will fit the non drive side ?????
Tengo esa maza y en modo fc cruje feo, siempre más de una vez por salida, la use en cd un día y no sonaba mal, pero estoy más acostumbrado al fc. Para crankflips es mala , muy lenta para los giros, aparte de los ruidos creo que la cambiaré antes de que se rompa por dentro, ya que tiene una pieza plástica y no me da mucha confianza
¿Cómo está el buje?
Is this out for good or will it be discontinued after this first stock?? Living in Oakland had the budget too tight this month😅🤣
It comes out again with the limited colours in December I’m pretty sure I ordered mine last month
Which is better, freecoaster or cassette type?
Hello, are you guys making also from hub Helix on Galactic Purple color??? I need 2
Can a Trapez hub be converted into a Hybrid hub by changing some internal parts?
Can you switch the drive sides?
La maza del vídeo es izquierda o derecha?
I broke the paws in my old cassete hub from impact.. The paws started skipping; this made doing tricks uncomfortable... Would this happen with the hybrid
The pawls are normally flat and not in the ratchet ring mos of the time so the chances of them getting damaged are actually reduced in this hub system. In the years we've tested this hub, we've had no problems like what you've described.
@@wethepeoplebikebrand OK great thx.. Gonna be ordering it soon
O
how long spokes i have to use with odyssey hazard lite rim?
Should be 184 if laced x3.
@@wethepeoplebikebrand @4 77 i mixed 182mm and 184mm since one hubside has a larger diameter. Worked very well.

Sick 🔥 someday 🙌🏻❤️
Are the flanges offset?
Does it already come build in in one of the new 2021 Wtp Complete Bikes ?
Not currently on any 2021 model. 2022 though....
does it go left and right??
Man this or the Merritt 🤔
I think I have an idea 💡
hello, I have the hybrid fc hub, and it creaks sometimes when pedaling or returning the fakie, I'm afraid something will happen to it. Other than that, I tried to adjust it to make it looser and to be able to do crankflips and in fc mode it worked for me but it turns slowly and ends up releasing the driver cone, and now when I tighten it a little it is too tight even for pedaling, in cs mode it's slow just the same, you can't throw cranckflips, they should improve that, now I can't fix it so that it's normal, neither too loose nor too tight, any suggestions? I've had my mace for more than a month and the sounds it makes and what driver tight they make me dissatisfied with the hub
Email the shop or company?
hi, i just got the hybrid and my slack disk doesn't move as freely as in the video, is that a problem, and if so, how can i fix it? thanks.
Yes that is a factory issue. I had the same situation. Metal and plastic disks must move freely to each other. If not you will be experiencing different slack values randomly when riding (For ex. I was losing a half of maximum slack below 15°C - seriously). After long chat Source Bmx send me only a new plastic slack disk instead whole new tested set and it made no difference. Guess what... Metal disk was to big and I scraped it a little bit and now it is fine. However I don't recommended to do it by yourself. Get whole new set of 2 slack disks from them which is surely tested and smooth.
I'm confused is it a planetary coaster?
Hmmm solid axle huh ?
I'm buying a complet wheel, which front wheel will match with this rear one?
Will this hub last longer than a regular freecoaster hub?
Thanks.
Get the helix front it will match perfectly
@@mylesregnier2434 Thanks
I’m going to eventually save up and buy a pair of these
Send me the other one! :P
no no hes using the other one on his front wheel for real
Will it ever come with a female axle?
Possibly.
How well does it crankflip though?
bad for cranckflips
Say no more. As soon as it’s in stock I’m buying it.
this on complete wheel when? :)
available in 2 weeks as a complete wheel laced to our Logic rim.
@@wethepeoplebikebrand YES!
Oh no.. worked in for 10 yrs then BSD shut the game down. Cool it can be cassette only too though.
Whats this song
I’m new to bmx and I want to eventually be able to build my own bike from the ground up
How long does the freecoaster last for i ride kinda hard
Any freecoaster doesn’t matter what name brand as long as it’s a reputable brand it will last as long as you take care of it. There are freecoasters designed for more durability and easier maintenance if that’s something that interests you I’d look into the odyssey clutch v2 you don’t have to take it apart and replace stuff unless it breaks which I’ve only seen once personally and it was an easy fix cause they sell every part for cheap on their website for it
female axles ?
Make female axle version like bsd revolution
can it crankflip
Si Bad for crankflips
Odyssey clutch v2 not the best anymore ? damn
Это же ezra
That hub is way more expensive than my bike i dont have this brands but i can watch pro riders ride this
It’s just 125€
@@blvck______ so expensive i use a standard one i restored it got it from a kids bicycle
Magnetto Hubs of flybkes VS. WtP hybrid Hub
Worst hub for crankflips, mode cs is very Bad ando slow for crankflips, fc suena siempre como si se fuera a romper
🤟🔥
bsd is original, you guys didnt create this. its not "exclusive".
this hub with the smallest slack setting how much is the Slack ?
