BMX - Hubs

Whats the Difference Between a Cassette hub and a freecoaster hub?
Whats the pro's con's of each. Im not exactly sure what freecoaster
does for you? Could anyone help me out? Thanks. I ride a Mosh Bagley.
Im guessing the stock is Cassette?

A freecoaster engages drive when pedaling forwards,but when rolling backwards the freecoater disengages the drive so that you don't need to pedal backwards, unlike a cassette hub where you do need to do this. The freecoaster in simple terms uses a screw system, when going forwards the screw tightens and when going backwards it loosens. A cassette however uses a normal rachet system these can range from 3 pawl to around 6 pawl designs maybe more. These have evolved from the freewheel that was used originally. Both of these hubs have their advantages and disadvantages, the freecoaster will allow you to roll backwards without pedaling and a cassette won't, although a freecoaster requires more maintenance to check if the engagement system works correctly whereas a cassette does not require this maintenance. Freecoasters and cassette both allow you to replace the drive cog relatively easily but with a freewheel type you need to take the whole thing off to replace it.

My mosh is a cassette. Im thinking of buying a new bike.
If I do can I get one stocked with a freecoaster? Or do
I need to buy it seperate? Can you give me some links
with freecoaster bikes?

Seperate, unless it's a flatland bike, which I guess you don't want

Sweet so seperate. Any links with some cheap ones?

NO I DONT RECOMEND IT! but its cheap.

That is a really good hub, you have no idea what you are on about

really, ive just never heard anything good about poverty.

As a whole poverty are junk. But the hub is great

Ya, the Poverty hub is actually pretty damn good.

better than khe?

Stronger probably

One of my friends broke his Poverty freecoaster, but they fixed it up and sent it back out. Another one of my friends broke his KHE coaster.

I saw that hub. I can live with that price.
THankz for all the help guys, this site is great.

stick around.

I've heard the same thing. My friend is having once laced up, we'll see how it goes.

do you have any clue of who makes the cassette hubs that come on the stock dk four pack i think its the odessey hazzard but not sure

its a cassette be happy if you have one. i doubt its a hazzard though. PS it odyssey.

Probably some mass company like quando or something.

it is identical to a hazzard though and i wanna run a 9 t i know odyssey makes lots of parts for other names you think dk just put there logo on it

Odyssey doesn't make parts with other names. There are many Odyssey clones in which parts are interchangeable and such.

like my old hub.

actually, poverty and geisha internals are nearly identical. They work with driver/clutch/spring set up. The main difference is the sealed driver bearing, coming in 36, and choice of driver sizes. Not to mention a significantly lighter shell. They both will engauge equally well, one will just require a tad more maintenance.
