Anyone picking up a Z-Coaster?

[Liveinthewoods]

They are supposed to drop soon and seem pretty good. I've never been a freecoaster guy but I feel like I want to make a change. Their design seems solid.

[master]

Please elaborate on how solid their design is, I have yet to see any details or internal pictures.

If it's not working right, can I fix it by putting the hub in the freezer overnight? Confirm/Deny

Boggles the mind that they can't make front hubs properly, let alone a cassette, and yet they try their hand at a coaster

History has proven getting first run of a new coaster is never a good idea.

Coaster release dates are the most uncertain thing in the universe. Dont believe it to be released in this decade.

[streetStreet]

its made in the USA, pretty cool if you ask me. How many are actually made in north america?

^ This.

I haven't had any bad luck with Profile, but I'll be waiting for someone else to buy one in my area and see what happens before I make a decision. I was told the later batches would have a 10t driver option as well, so I'd probably be stuck waiting anyway.

wobble, driver bearings, detachable flanges.

spares will also be 4x the cost of equivalent yuhub parts, jus sayin

[Bunky]

I think I might buy one.  I have to admit my curiosity has got the best of me.

The thing here is however that Profile make the coaster in house. So the risk of them shipping out mass-produced coasters with a small flaw is minimized.

Could still have some production flaw, but the risk is probably way smaller than from companies working with taiwanese factories

out of the 4 profile cassettes ive had only one of them didn't need to be shimmed to all hell. there hubs are crap. and they cant measure.

I always imagine profile as being the pinnacle of BMX product quality. I have myself only had the race cranks, which bends quite easily I guess...

Also had a friend on the Porter Ti sprocket that just randomly exploded.
