MTB Free coaster hub

KHE Geisha MTB Free Coaster hub
135mm disc brake 11 tooth cog(not interchangeable) 10mm axel 36 hole only.

Only MTB free coaster currently available that i could find. I had to get it from Australia.

After building wheel and one session at the skate park.I have to admit all the irritation trying to get one of these hubs. Its in the 2015 catalog. It is pretty nice. Nobody in USA had one. KHE was little help.I was buying not trying to get something for nothing. It took a little while to get used to the slacky engagement (i am running the least amount of slack 1/4 crank ish) but can report it works well. first ten minutes of riding it had a wicked pop when landing backwards. It went away quickly. Not as nasty about to brake sounds of other free coasters i have seen. Come on Profile get your shit together. I think you can do better. If i can ever get one. Going from a white industries trials freewheel to this is funky but fun.

  5. Thanks for reading my post. So far i have not found a 135mm freecoaster that lasts more than 1 session at the skate park.I would like to run the profile Z coaster but the guys i know running the bmx version have had problems with them. If i find one that works i will post it up.
