I figured out how to show you guys how this hub works
So when you move it like this hub forward you can hear it kiss setting
Now act like you're faking
Look at the driver. It's moving forward
Hey everyone, and welcome to my first look at the internals of the free night planetary free coaster
They were nice enough to send this over to me
So I'm going to show you guys the internals of it got the Box opened
It's had some really nice packaging to it pretty impressed there
And then also in the box it came with
kind of a diagram showing the insides of the hub so that when I mess up
Taking it apart. I can get it put back together and
Also a note saying thank you and have fun. I will have fun and thank you
So the first thing that we're going to do is move over to the close-up camera and we're gonna take a look at the inside
Of this hub. So first thing you gotta do is take off this side axle nut. I'm glad we have this
Internal look so that I can figure out how to do this right on the diagram. It says to do not open the clutch assembly
So I will I will definitely not open the clutch assembly
So I guess this serves as a look at how you take this thing apart, too. So there's a cone spacer on this side
Sighs my crescent wrench for it
Got my 8 millimeter allen for the axle because there are eight millimeter
Allen's on both sides
Put that in that side
You send it up from here. I just don't want to drop it because that is something that I would do. Oh
There we go
Okay, so that just goes to show if you get this thing. You can keep your jam nut super tight
And our first look is also a tutorial at how to take it apart. Hello check. Ok
We're here. We have audio hooks. We got the cones or Jam nut off now. Let's take off our driver. Oh
there goes okay driver is
out
So here's the driver
So the Paul Springs down automatically
That's interesting. So on the inside you can see here. We've got the clutch disc
Which rotates in the hub so this is just free free rotating
It just spins in the hub and I believe if I can get it out of here
I need to get it out as part of the video. I will be right back
Okay
So I got the clutch in the spacer
Moved out of here in this I believe is where the secrets of this hub lie
Not sure if I was supposed to take this apart or not
But I'm sorry if I wasn't people can buy this so if someone else could do this if they wanted to
So here's the clutch it's got
Gearing on it here. And then on the inside, this is what it looks like. I
See okay, I see what's going on here. Now, this is honestly, okay
This is exactly what I thought was going to be when I first saw this hub if you look very closely in here
You'll see gears
You see these little white gear sticking out those gears then there's another
bigger, there's bigger teeth in there that those gears are going against and then this clutch with this gearing is going
Against that this is the very concept of a planetary clutch with in-car transmissions
Basically that allows this hub to spin forwards and backwards
independently of
The driver so this spins forward and backward
regardless of
The driver
So then you've got these
The bigger clutch disk areas here kind of there's three of them
those are what engage the cassette pause and
That is how you hear the clicking of the cassette and that's how you can go
Forwards and backwards with it and also have the cassette motion. I kind of understand what I'm looking at at this point
Those gears have to have a center point for them to rotate around and I don't want to take that apart
This is pretty ingenious and awesome. It's interesting that this clutch disk isn't metal
I wonder if they could do it all out of metal
but this is why they don't want you pedaling forward while you're baking because you could just
Destroy these little gears in here. This is
Literal ingenious technologies. All right, I already put the other camera away
But I figured out how to show you guys how this hub works
So when you move it like this hub forward you can hear it kiss setting
Now act like you're faking look at the driver it's moving forward, okay?
So they said that you could pedal slow while faking so what that led me to think is okay your pedal you're going forward
It's cassette Inc
Now you're faking it's moving like this what happens if you push against it
it holds still but still goes backwards so you can actually stop it and
Pedal forward potentially while it's going backwards
but like they said you don't want to do it hard and that is how the
Planetary gearing in here allows it to be a free coaster and a cassette without disengaging
Anything inside the hub back to the other part of the video?
I put the clutch disc back in and made sure that the gears were engaged which is something that you definitely
Want to do if you're going to do this?
And you can reap it in what do they call this? The inner spacer inner spacer is just placed in there
Then from there we can put the driver back on
Let's make sure all of our teeth let's do this this way and go from the top down with it
I'll give you another look at this. So the teeth spring
Downward and then the inner clutch thing that we were looking at with it's three pieces
Make them go up whenever the hub is
Or when the wheel is moving forward like this
That is forcing those to go up
I believe I could be totally wrong in that but that's what it seems like
So we got the driver to the point where it'll go back in
Just like that. I'm gonna be honest with you guys. I have no idea how this works
I just wanted to take it apart for you guys and show everyone
The internals of it and give you guys a better look at it. So we're putting our tone or our jam nut back on here
we're gonna get it all tightened up and put back together and
Then oh listen
This is so interesting
I just need to get this thing laced up on a wheel and put on the bike so that we can check it out
And the last piece of the puzzle is this last jam nut, which I'm going to need tools to get back on
There it goes
so what it looks like is that the hub guard cone spacer on the non-drive side and the
Regular cone spacer are two different things
so the last piece of this puzzle is to put on our
normal cone spacer on the non-drive side
And we're ready to go
So there it is an in-depth look at the internals of the free night planetary free coaster this thing is legitimately
revolutionary and I'm excited to get this thing laced up tonight and maybe even
Try it out tomorrow with that being said if you guys are finding your way to this video from somewhere else and you enjoyed it
