So I've been getting a ton of questions about the planetary free coaster the new coaster which you can go from cassette
Going forward
To coaster instantly with no disengagement and how this hub compares to other free coasters out there
So I figured even though I made a comparison video where we're actually riding other hubs and showing them Oh
Tell you and explain the differences directly in one video right now
So the premise with this hub is that you can go from being a cassette peddling forward. You can hear the cassette
Cassette pedaling forward to instantly coasting backwards and then back to a cassette
When you move it forward
Without having to do anything you just arrived the bike. So the difference between this free coaster and most other free coasters
Is that this coaster does not have to be disengaged before you can pre coast with it?
Most other free coasters have to have some sort of back pedal slightly
Sometimes it needs to be more than that in order to disengage the hub and allow it to go backwards
This hub does not need that you can just do a straight 180 as soon as you finish pedaling with nothing else
And then the other huge thing about this hub is that there's no reengagement required
So all other free coasters have slack that needs to be pedaled out
Before they can be reengaged in order to pedal forward if you know anything about free coasters or you've had one
You know what I'm talking about. This hub is different
So a lot of attention has been put on the fact that you don't have to disengage this hub
I think it's equally as important that you don't have to re-engage it
So a perfect example
To show this and illustrate it is right there on this setup with the quarter pipe and spine
We're gonna do an Abubakr on the quarter end up fakie. Turn it around and
Instantly I'm gonna have to pedal forward in order to hit the spine and have enough speed
On a normal free coaster you'd have to pedal out that slack and then pedal and it would be a wonky
awkward experience on this free coaster
It handles it perfectly because we don't have to disengage it or reengagement once we turn it around
We just have our pedals there
Go so I'll show you that right now and just to make this example that much better and show how revolutionary
the design of the planetary free coaster is I'm going to drop in and pedal all the way up to my Abubakr just so you
Can see that there is absolutely no disengagement needed
And as soon as I land that fakie and turn it around you're going to see that there is no
Slack to get rid of or reengagement necessary because our pedals are gonna be there as soon as we need them
So if you've ever ridden a free coaster before you know how crazy what I just did was I didn't have to disengage whatsoever or
Reengage and the lack of having to get rid of slack is kind of part of what makes this free coaster
So amazing, let's try and illustrate it a little bit further for you right now
So let's back up a little bit as you can see. It's coasting
We're in a pedal forward. We're in cassette as
You can see we're in cassette you can hear it
Put the bike down move it backwards, which will be your free Coast and our pedals are
Now we're gonna go forward again
Instantly our pedals are here and we're going forward you saw there was no slack
Let's show you one more time because this is the difference between this and other free coaster hubs
Every single one is different than this so
pedaling forward
We're Cassetti. You can hear it put the bike down. We're coasting
Move the bike forward look instantly pedaling forward once again
Instantly coasting
once again
Instantly pedaling forward
It is absolutely amazing and we haven't even got to the best part yet
So another huge aspect of free coasters that has to be considered is the slack a lot of people when they're riding a free coaster
Have to be very careful of how their feet move because if you move in the wrong way or even slightly
sometimes it can engage the coaster and that's why certain things are pretty scary on a free coaster because if it engages without you wanting
It too things can get kind of bad
And that is the beauty of this hub as well this free coaster while you're faking has endless slack
You can move your feet and twitch as long as you're not trying to put a full crank in or push pretty hard
It's not going to engage on you and there's literally not a single free coaster out there other than just not having a chain
That has endless slack like this hub does so I'm gonna show you an example where when I'm fakie
I'm gonna do a full crank forward
Showing how this thing just has endless slack even though as soon as you turn it around
You instantly got your cassette back and you've got pedal pressure instantly, so let's show you that right now
I
just gave all
Forward crank in my fakie between that quarter pipe in the spine
So you have to worry about how your feet move on the current coaster you're riding now
Or in consideration for riding a coaster instead of a cassette that is not a worry with this hug
And I know that I've talked this thing up insanely through this video right now
Just showing you guys the insane differences between it and other free coasters that you can get, but it's not all
Insane crazy stuff with this hub there are certain things. You absolutely just can't do that. You can do with other free coasters
So, for example, we have not quite figured out yet how you can use pedal pressure in certain tricks
like spinning back wheel tricks like a
360 tab on flat ground or using pedal pressure to do a pull cab on flat ground and things like that
I think there might be a way to do it
But we haven't figured it out yet in the concept of the hub alone doesn't really allow for these things
so here's some differences between this hub and hubs like the Z coaster or the
Esra free coaster or the salt plus free coaster which is like the same thing as the ezra
with the profile Z coaster
you can keep it in cassette mode in order to do tire taps and
360 tire taps and things of that nature because until you give it that
Disengagement it is a cassette with this hub the way it's designed
It is a free coaster as soon as that wheel starts to turn backwards
Regardless of what you're doing if you're doing a tire tap and you start to move backwards, it's free coasting
So there's trade-offs with this lug you have to consider in weighing the options between it and other free coaster hubs
It's 100 percent perfect for someone like me who doesn't
Need pedal pressure on tire taps or 270 taps or anything like that because I just use my brakes
I always have I never even learned how to use pedal pressure in those tricks
So it's just hands-down
perfect for someone like me in the fact that I want to go from riding at the skatepark and free coasting and doing tricks like
that to going to the trails and hitting a set of doubles without having to worry about
Or anything like that on my way to hit the chumps and just like any other free coaster hug
You can keep this thing engaged on a fakie by keeping pedal pressure on it
so I'm gonna show you an example of how easy this thing is to actually
disengage if for whatever reason it does stay engaged whenever you land a trick all you have to do is
Barely twitch your feet. That's why we're on the ground right now
I'm hoping that you're gonna be able to see it from this angle. So I got the quarter pipe right here
I'm gonna go up it I'm going to keep pedal pressure so that it doesn't have a chance to go into coaster mode
Automatically and by the time that we get here
I'm going to twitch my feet and show that it's going to instantly be free coasting after I move even the slightest little bit
Hopefully you guys could see that but literally all I did was give a tiny little
Backpedal to back to where I was at and it just goes coaster mode that easy
So kind of the whole point of this hub is to be a cassette anytime that you're moving forward and then be a free coaster
anytime that you're moving backward without having to disengage or
Re-engage the hub so really for now if you can get around not being able to consistently do back tire pedal pressure
Spinning tricks like three taps or five tabs on quarters or flat ground
This is honestly the perfect free coaster don't ever have to worry about
Disengaging it unless for some off chance one of the very few times that it stays engaged
upon landing and all you have to do is twitch your feet to get it out of cassette mode and
You never have to worry about re-engaging it or the slack that comes with Riaan gauging a hub
It's always there as soon as that wheel starts to move forward again
It really is honestly converted me into a free coaster person as long as a hub with this concept
exists, and I absolutely
Love it. So those are the drawbacks. That's how it compares to other free coasters that are out there and available
