out of interest could we have a list of freecoasters from best to worst with their pros and cons?

"freecoaster that may or may not make production as a Colony product… time will tell."
Sounds like he got someone to machine down a KHE/Federal shell or something. It'd be great for the Australian market if Colony did make one.

Best: probably a khe if you treat it nice.
Worst: basically every single one if you're a retard.

If you can deal with the limitations a Nankai Bamboo will outperform any other freecoaster on the market. Fact.

This is a subjective question. there isn't one freecoaster out that doesn't have some sort of issue so it's only going to be opinions

Anybody have a Nankai and want a KHE?

Can't wait for the Ezra and Eclat hubs to be released. Hopefully they bring something new to the table... My second hand Federal V2 wobbles like all shit.

We should have a stickied thread or even just a thread called "Freecoasters" for ANYTHING freecoaster related.. It's not like the interest for a long lasting reliable freecoaster is going to change any time soon.

What limitations?

What limitations?

Mainly, all unsealed bearings that require a lot of cleaning and maintenance. The hub requires the typical unsealed bearing preload setting with cone nuts.
