I got my BSD Revolution wheel the other week, and I have to say, the hype is REAL. Only thing more that I would've wanted from it would've been a female axle option, but regardless, it still rendered every other freecoaster almost instantly obsolete.

@timcollier5387

Great post! 👍 I completely agree with this. Doesn't having a female axle work best for riders that slam their wheel in the dropouts so they don't have to break their chain to service the back wheel? (That's a nightmare in itself for some riders) Plus having dropouts with a integrated chain tensioner through the dropouts can cause pinching threads on the hub axle itself. Ride more, work on your bike less.

@Mish2353

3 жыл бұрын

It wouldn't work as a female axle because of the amount of pressure the driver needs to actually work like he explained in the video. With females axles there's no way to tighten the outside cone so it simply wouldn't be tight enough for the mechanism to work

Eastern Ezra hubs had the same mechanism for converting the cassette to a free coaster. Planetary went beyond and made a new clutch system.

@williambodger551

the eastern ezra is so under represented i feel like no one knows about it but it was one of the pioneering freecoasters

No springs inside the clutch. All just gears... At least that is how the original is. There is actually a rubber o-ring inside the clutch that causes friction when going forward and that is what causes the clutch to engage and raise the driver pawls.

@@doriking275 ok got ya, if its slipping, either the teeth on the driver have worn down and lost their "edge" or the pawls have worn down, if you can get access to the springs under the pawls then bend them up slightly to create more tension on the pawls and teeth, that will reduce the slipping problem, failing that replace the pawls in the hub, but if the teeth on the driver have worn down then you either need to replace the driver or get a new hub, most of the time just bending the springs up slightly and creating more tension fixes the problem

the zcoaster has to be disengaged, don’t quote me but i believe it’s heavier and while the z coaster is still engaged and you go backwards the petals move back and it allows you to do tire taps and 270 taps , a 270 tap has been done with this hub design (brakeless of course with petal pressure of course) but it’s not consistent enough to count , brant moore did a video on this with trevor

How is this different than just running low slack in a free coaster?

@_tcmore

3 жыл бұрын

Because running low slack means pedalling a bit forward will engage the hub. This hub basically has unlimited slack when going backwards. You can pedal forward while going backwards with this this as long as you don't pedal too fast. If you pedal forward faster than the gearing is spinning bringing the pawls down then it will engage. It is based off the Freenight Planetary freecoaster and I have been running a prototype for almost two years and it really is game changing.
