one thing i really like about it is the adjustable slack without even taking the wheel off the bike.

Madera is a Profile under its skin, the internals is all Profile and the shell is a Madera. For the price you really can't beat for a decent product.
"It's kind of surprising that Odyssey or Profile hasn't made any freecoasters yet."
Correct me if I may be wrong. Hasn't Profile made shells for a freecoaster utilizing the nankai freecoaster parts so that way they too will sort of have a freecoaster of their own? Are the hub shells sold still?

i dont care how heavy they are. it doesnt matter. im not a weight weenie, i just want parts that are relatively cheap and that will last. i can always get used to a heavier bike.

All the parts i have gotten are basically used, and i got them for a hella good deal. My bike weighs 24 pounds. I can't freakin believe it. I thought it weighed around 27-28ish and i weighed it today and my lbs and it was 24!

The Profiles are 11 oz. lighter and don't cost much more than the Madera's. I think the better choice is obvious.

Yeah. I figured out how to get a better deal though i think. You buy the both the profile arms seperately for like $50 each then you buy the fsa titatium spindle for $80. Then it weighs like 25 oz. Lol. I think that would work.
