      Nice, I like that BTM XL frame. It sits up higher which I like but I run a Sunday Nightshift and it’s pretty awesome geometry for me. I like the higher stand over so you can raise the seat higher and it doesn’t look so goofy.

    Switching the clutch and driver to change driveside in a freecoaster is possible sometimes if you get lucky, but in some cases the coned ring that the clutch seats to when engaged will unthread itself from the hubshell and lock it up.

    I picked up a set of those Blunt cranks in raw/gloss. Priced to kill the comp, 48spl, 24mm hollow spindle, flush fitting hollow bolts, smooth for the ankles, etc. The best value out there for cranks as far as I'm concerned.

    What? No mention of which foot forward you ride dictating your preferred grinding side & what side drive you run? Don't most people grind on their front foot side? You should do a survey.

      I don’t think you can. It would require a cassette with 2 drive sides which none of them do. Unless you can machine it to have 2 then it would probably work. A flip flop hub, you could put both sides on but one would go forward and one go backward.
