Why isn't this is the 'new stuff' thread that was made?

Because, as the man himself stated...it made a huge mess.

ok, no worries then, i wondered where it had got to

[FitRider 921]

I definitely wouldn't buy it. A lot better options out. Khe street, bruce crisman reverse (coming out), federal freecoaster (coming out).

My Nakai and the Odyssey Reloader are the only freecoasters i've tried. I wasnt exactly a fan of either of them, but the Oddy was deffinatly better then my Nankai.

Belive it or not, the best one I have see or tried(on friends bikes, I still like cassettes/freewheels). Has been the Poverty model.

[wethepeople]

Yes, i've heard the Poverty one is really good.

It's a pig.

You deal with it.

Watch some old BMX video's, people run with two brakes, four pegs and other heavy parts. A heavier hub is nothing to fret about.

I wasn't complaining, just stating.

Normal tires? What tires were unnormal?

Khe :D

Khe :D
You can give them to me. :D Did you have any problems with them?

[eightdip]

Just the fact that i kept getting punctures from all the glass around here and therefore i got lots of holes in them. Thats why i changed. The walls on them are pretty thin. I'm selling both of them to a mate for £10.
