I'm currently having these problems with alienation hub 😅

Thanks for posting this. I'm gonna dig out my wheel with the free night hub, and give it another look. Been in storage almost two years 😬

I hope it helps!

I had some skipping of engagement on my BSD Revolution from new, luckily I found a comment online straight away that said to make sure the nuts were nice and tight. Mine were pretty good but that tiny extra bit of tightening made all the difference.

I just bought a planetary hub. Thank you for this video.

Just got a bsd hub and after first ride it started seeking! So angrivating building a custom wheel and have if squeek. Took out the driver and just a quick spray with wd and it solved the issue. Appreciate your insight 🙏🏼!

Awesome stuff Brant!

Great info!! Thanks Brant!!

Good video Brant, way to pass on knowledge

Incidentally, i had an epiphany this morning on planetary clutch system. I message you in IG but you haven't replied though. Coming in YT, now you have this video, it may be a sign!

Thanks for the explanation!

During the last BMX session the BSD made me Fall down. Now Pizza on my knee, because the pedal are empty when cornering. Cracks some times when pedaling! Annoying and disappointing. Want a different one. Now I know why it’s like this, Thanks for your help .

@@kiikii7815 the clutch should engage the paws when rolling forward hence there should be the cassette sound. If there isn't, then I suggest that you open up the internals and check the clutch and the paws. You need to rewatch this video again. and in case you haven't, do tighten the jam nut on the drive side as Brant mentioned at 5:44. And also like Brant said, do not grease up the internals on this hub.

I have a newer video that shows this in depth

For me I just had to take off the drivers side hub guard after the hub was skipping and it worked perfectly

One tip with the Planetarys is that it doesn't like extremely tight chains. When I first got my BSD hub last year, it wouldn't engage and when I contacted BSD that was one of the suggestions. Sure enough once I loosened my chain from where i had it, all was good. You can keep your chain tight, just not super tight.

@@Brant_Moore The new manufactured clutch is so much better and beefier than the OG freenight. I had the freenight and had various troubles and actually wound up destroying the clutch. The only problems I have had with the BSD in the last year were fixed by loosening the chain and making sure the cone nuts are tight. The OG freenight had me replacing O-rings in the first month... People should definitely give the Revolution or the Venus a shot. Now if only there was a female axle version!

That’s crazy that you destroyed one. I practically tried to destroy one myself and let other people do anything they wanted with it on my bike. The hub is still just fine as a backup for me. Even so the new clutch is definitely a giant improvement for sure! Female axle could happen but only as a 3/8 version

@@MiddleAgeBMX you can buy certain female cassette axles and convert them to 3/8ths female. But I think the clutch might need a redesign to go 14mm female or driver bearing issues.

Had an idea for lubing this hub easily with no mistakes. High quality q tip like the black ones used for dabbing. Soak it in triflow. You can sponge on a little bit in just the areas you need. I can see someone accidentally putting too much lube and having to rip it apart to clean lol

If you’re intending to keep the unit dry WD40 is a wet lubricant unless you mean WD40 dry PTFE spray which goes on wet but dries leaving a PTFE coating. How do remove the ratchet ring that the pawls engage with as I can’t find anything on this.

Got caught in the rain about a week ago and my bsd revolution hub has been having engagement problems since. I cant even remove the jam nuts to get the driver off to see if its o-ring. If anyone has any advice I would really appreciate it.

my colony swarm, it doesn't moon walk it engages when I try to pedal forward, I've tried to do as they say turn the crank slowly, much slower than the wheel is turning and it doesn't work, I feel like it's a khe with the minimum engagement clearance how much I'm fakie, any tips?

I have a 2020 fit bike scumbag and every time I get it fixed it breaks after like a week, it’s a completely stock hub. Every time I stop pedaling I hear a loud ding noise from the hub, I’m starting to get over it, I’m about 200ish dollars in to fixing this, do you recomend any aftermarket hub for this damn bike

@jordanthompson323

Check how tight your bearings are, ie can you push them in and out with your hand.....basically the hub shell isn't manufactured to be a tight fit with the bearing, use a bearing retaining compound and re fit your bearings and tighten up the cone nuts this should fix the issue. it did with mine

I recommend never using wd-40 as a lubricant. It's more of a de-greaser & only acts as a lubricant until it evaporates, which it does fairly quickly.

Yup. It's also designed to leave a thin film behind if you don't disturb it. The film acts as a rust inhibitor but it's fairly delicate Wd in wd 40 stands for weapons defense. 40 stands for the recipe iteration. Was originally used to protect missiles. It also usually contains little bits of metal in it. Triflow is gold.
