      once? a freecoaster takes time to get used to, just once isn't really a fair enough amount of time to judge it for the rest of your life

    I've been planning on switching for a while now, and I still want to switch even more after watching this video (just fyi, I can fakie on a coaster as well as I can on a cassette, until I run out of speed). Keep up the good work!

    Ive ridden both for a long time and I agree with this video 100 percent. I just switched back to a cassette last week and I love it. Bike feels more balanced and is a lot lighter. It runs perfect and smooth now. Coasters are way fun but they come with great responsibility and I am lazy and i dont like working on my bike unelss its putting on new parts.

I'm 6'1" thinking about getting a freestyle bmx bicycle not sure I'd fit on one though... I have a Redline cruiser for racing and an SE draft for commuting. Any thoughts on something that might fit me for trying some grinding and such?

    I think the only difference in opinion is that cassettes will blow out driver bearings. if you have one with bearings that is. I made a bushing for my primo pro cassette and it's still going strong after 12 years. I do routine maintenance ie grease oil it. other than bearings going out on occasion they last forever. just know that sealed bearings can be lubed by removing the seals and flushing them and repackaging them with grease. good video btw

      I got used to mine in like 4 hours, once you find the perfect amount of slack and you start to disengage out of habit its overall pretty quick, my friend on the other hand took like a week and a half to get used to his though, so I guess it all depends on the person.

    I know I’m a little late but maybe it should be broken down too purpose. I look at it more like, in racing I probably want immediate pedal power and less weight. Street flatland and park is different less speed so weight isn’t as much a concern and the flexibility of the freewheel give you more maneuverability.
