Sunday Cyclone freecoaster

It's the more affordable version of the Odsy Clutch apparently. To be honest I don't really understand the need for external slack adjustment anyway. Not needing to take the hub apart is a plus I guess, but I wonder how much damage taking it apart twice a year really causes.

But if it has the same internals as the Clutch I wonder how the slack adjustment is done? Is it literally the same expanding ring thing (https://youtu.be/bMkepHqfVg4?t=1m46s) without the hole in the shell?

Anyone have more info on this? The Clutch is about €200 / £200 over here so I really want to see if this one is worth waiting for.

yeah clutch is pricey but worth it i reckon. be keen to see what the differences are between the clutch and sunday one, and also what the price for the sunday coaster is

Freecoasters are lame anyway. No cassette clicking sound = not cool. Watching people ride in complete silence in videos is like wtf.

you can get the z-coaster and click away, altho i personally think that's the worst of both worlds. watching everyone slowly jump on the coaster trend wasn't my dream, but it means there's a lot more companies making them so i'll take it.

good to have options for people who do want to run coasters, though it is super annoying how all the kids are running them, but thats just trends in bmx. whats cool may change, but bmxers are consistent in being sheep.
also coasters are great forreally slow manuals cos theres no drag, i only realised this recently

Nah, trends are good for BMX. The annoyance is a small price to pay for the product development that the trends drive.

^^^ This is very true.

It used to be that if you wanted to ride a freecoaster, you had to be pretty good at bicycle maintenance and just kind of accept the fact that you were going to have to work on your rear hub a lot. 

I'm glad that freecoasters became a trend, because it spawned a lot more reliable options.

My purchased in 08 WTP Q-Lite that has never been disassembled or greased is the loudest fucking thing in the world, like a swarm of bees on steroids. No stealth missions with that, haha.

Still want to try a freecoaster for a bit though...
