THanks bro..a few guys I talked to locally have raved about them..we'll see once I get the slack ring and spacer(I have a WTB ad here)..I can't really complain about the Naniki/Profile mini Sun set up I've had for like 5 years..Keeping up maintenance on the coaster and tightening the spokes from time to time really helped in the long run..Looks like it's time to sell the old set.

Let me look around in my shop sometime this week.  I'm pretty sure I still have a 60degree slack ring that came in mine before I switched it out, and I think you might be able to take the spring out of your Nankai and run it on the cassette sleeve.  I'll try and find the slack ring and pull apart one of my nankai's to see if I can get it to work.

Damm..thanks again brotha!!I think all who ride freecoasters should take a week off and ride a cassette just to appreciate what we have today.

I've tried to hop 180 on a cassette wheel fairly recently. Not happening! It was fun for my buddy who was watching me try.

Hey coffin2death, thanks for posting the above images.
The 'isolator drive'. What is it? Was it really better than other systems?

Years ago I read about GSport using a one way/clutch bearing in a rear hub, is it just that?

Hey guy's..any info on these?I can't find nothing..just know they were made in Aussie.

Johnny Rochester?  Nice!

I think I was trying to get him to build me a frame back in the late 90's.  I had some of those decals (the ones around the hubs) on my old Zippo.

Oh, and I guess he spelled his name:

Jonny Rochester

Odyssey Clutch hub.  You can't go wrong with it.

Yes, the Freecoaster Clutch V2 Hub is the best 1 so far!
You adjust the slack way you want to. Got 2 sets of wheels!!!

I bought one but never got it!!! I still think about that hub, I guess it was a bad idea to send a check overseas, probably got lost in the mail... But all I remember was the website, maybe it's still on geocities or whatever it was...

I would like to get a take on these...I can't find anything..pics..ads.NO da.

Doubt you will.  JR seems to have vanished online.  I searched a few years back when I was curious about what happened to him.  But if you do find something, keep us informed.

Free night coaster available in US now... Someone get one and tell me how it is!

Does anybody know what Freecoaster this is and have an idea of the date?, it’s got lines on it reminiscent of some Nankai’s I’ve seen, but I’m not sure?

Looks like a bendix with a Dradonfly decal on it.

With this FreeNight coaster, if I already have a freecoaster, why would I want this new one?  What does it really do that the current crop of coaster don't?
