New Nankai Bamboo Freecoaster
The newest hub from Nankai. The Bamboo hub uses the tried and true Nankai internals that make it the most reliable and functioinal freecoaster available. The Bamboo goes a step further by incorporating a hollow 14mm chromoly axle to make it truly street worthy yet lighter than the original Nankai 3/8" hub.

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.

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.

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.
