so bsd bmx has officially announced and released their revolution hub this hub is based on the
planetary free coaster concept that i talked about in a bunch of videos last year and it
looks like there are a few different changes here so i'm going to be talking about that today and i
wanted to make sure that i got out this video the day that everything came out instead of waiting
until friday for an official bmx news video so with this hub the planetary free coaster concept
gets catapulted into the mainstream of bmx with a couple of slight changes and i will go over
this but you guys might remember back in august of 2019 i made the first videos about the planetary
free coaster from free night and with this i talked about the internals showed everything
got my hands on the hub and a very key part of my conversation about this hub was the question of
whether or not this hub would change free coasters forever and it seems like we're getting a little
bit of confirmation that it could do exactly that there's an article up on dig right now that says
will this hub change bmx forever well no this hub won't but the free knight planetary free coaster
certainly might have but that's another point for another day let's get to the point of why you guys
are here the revolution is bsd's take on the planetary free coaster planetary coming from the
planetary gearing system in the clutch assembly that is used within this hub it does appear from
the pictures that have been posted and you see right here that the clutch assembly appears to
be made from a different material and maybe have some slight changes to it this is difficult to
see without a direct hands on but then you look a little bit closer and the axle might be a little
bit different as well so there are some slight changes here between this and the original i don't
know if this is just a second iteration of the planetary free coaster that we originally saw and
that these changes will translate over to it as well if this is bsd specific but as far as the dig
right up goes they have all of the details as well some questions to grant smith the owner of bsd and
then at the bottom of it and the one thing that i'm super super happy to see is their inclusion
of tal from free night in all of this and talking about free night in general tal has a quote at
the bottom of it where they're talking about how they've been working together on this for the past
two years and how it's coming to light finally and how excited everything is and then at the very end
of that he actually mentions me in here and says special thanks to brantmore for spreading the word
respect for everyone we couldn't have done this without you i gotta say a huge thank you for that
and feeling the gravity of this in this announcement and those words and the part that
i had in all of this in general really does mean a lot because there was a lot of work that was
put in when it felt like no one was talking about the free knight planetary free coaster except me
and now we're seeing why because other companies are licensing this technology and creating their
own version of it and it legitimately looks like the free night planetary free coaster is in the
process of completely changing free coasters in bmx forever and all of the details for this hub
are in all of my previous videos about it which you can find in the description down below because
besides the couple of differences that i've already mentioned previously the hub shell as well
as the compatibility of this hub for bsd specific hub guards because of the shape of the outer cone
area of the hub everything else about this hub is the same as the original the weight and how it
works it's all the same as what i talked about in my previous videos which i went very very in depth
with i've got internal looks at this hub and all of the inside parts of it so there might be some
slight changes between the revolution and the original planetary that i have in my videos but
the concept and the way that it all works is still exactly the same so if you want that in-depth look
you want all of the details about it check out the link in the description to my playlist on the game
changing free night planetary free coaster i'm so happy to see that this is finally coming to
light bsd also uploaded a quick video to their youtube channel with alex donaki doing a 180 on
flat ground and then riding fakie set to a michael jackson song and then pedaling this hub forward
while he's riding fakie as i've demonstrated in previous videos the end of the video says the
revolution is coming so these guys are going all in on this hub being a revolution in changing bmx
hubs forever and i've got a jab a little bit here i do think it's kind of funny and ironic that most
of my previous videos about the free knight planetary free coaster have a revolutionary
in the title and i call this hub revolutionary repeatedly in my videos and then bsd's version is
called the revolution i thought that was kind of funny and ironic obviously it's probably unrelated
and whatnot but still kind of funny you know so with that being said check out the other videos
about the original planetary free coaster that i've made and if you guys are finding your way
here from somewhere else hit the subscribe button while you're down below so that hopefully we can
see you tomorrow for another video thank you all for being here and watching and goodbye
