BMX - Made my own Freecoaster...

I found this video on YouTube, found a compatible hub at my friend's house and built my own Freecoaster. Check it out on YouTube.

The link to the directions is in the description.

I didn't think it would work, but it actually did...too bad the only bike I had with 3/8 dropouts (the hub has a 3/8 axle) was my old Diamondback that barely rides.

It probably not very durable but it's still a neat little hack

Doesn't count until you 180 a 3-stair with it...

I've done that. It was fun, but there was wayyyyy too much slack and I hit my knees of the bars/stem too many times. I want to do it again now that I know how to fakie.

im learning how to fakie and im getting the roll back but i cant get the rotation

Watch it.

k thanks i hope this helps

nice thast pretty balling.


taking the pads out is a cool trick but your still riding around on a ****ty hub thats not going to handle too much riding

if you like FC's but still dont want to spit out a ton of cash for an astern or something like that you can get sealed bearing taska ones from flatlandfuel.com pretty cheap. nothing special but whatever

arent those ones only 3/8 though?

yea but you can get adapters and ive never seen a coasterbreakwheel with 14mm axle so your still on the same boat you were tryin to use that.

and i take it back, they used to be like 40 bucks for the unsealed. i didnt think it was as much as a 100 for the sealed one

well the freecoaster i want to get is $160, so 100 isnt so bad

ya i just looked, that cheap hub is 35 bucks and they have a geisha light for 80 bucks. my fc wheel is coming friday.

a geisha light for only $80? is that with the 14mm axle studs?

ya 80 bucks go look on flatlandfuel

haha wowwww thats so cheap
