- I got the lightest freesoaster hub ever made for my titanium BMX bike! It's even lighter than my profile cassette hub with titanium hardware. We build t up the new wheel and test the hub and it works like no other hub on the market. I also got a carbon fiber front hub and a titanium seat post! I love my bike and it's almost perfect!

Just because you can’t physically ride like you did before your accident Scott, will never change how a lot of people see you and respect you as a BMX rider and a BMX legend.
Scotty have a just pretending to be retired…but in the background, when no ones looking. Triple flairs over the biggest gap at any bike park! Lol.
BK is actually so humble, he's such a nice guy lets be honest!
Yo Scotty small progress is still good progress. I’m still glad you’re trying. Keep it up my man. Just the fact you’re walking to me is all I need.
FEC specialise in Flatland parts including frames and forks. Their Freecoaster is probably their most popular part with most of the local riders in Melbourne using it.
There's a way to get the freenight based coasters probably just as light if not lighter than the titanium internal far east cycles coaster.
There's a specific axle you can order that's Titanium. And getting a driver made wouldn't be hard.
@@bmxriderforlife1234 The problem the Freenight lacks which the majority of Flatland riders require is a 10mm male or female axle. Most flatland specific frames are 10mm dropouts.
@@veeonerotate there's a way to make the freenight 3/8ths and give it a titanium center axle all at the same time.
A certain companies old titanium cassette axles drop into the freenight hubs.
Rob ridge world's lightest coaster mod. If you know about that it'd essentially the same mod just without the driver from a salt hub and no ceramic bearings.
I don't ride flatland proper but I do dick around. I've also ridden with guys like chase gouin
We are happy to see you ride and walk on the channel. It's not about the tricks when we watch you specifically brother, It's about seeing how you have healed. You're a living legend and true inspiration
The fact that you even try to ride keeps me coming back to the channel. You’re a legend I go back and watch some of the shit you used to do and I can’t believe it. You’ll always have that
Litespeed makes such insanely nice stuff, good for him. I used to work at a bike shop with a guy who had a titanium Litespeed mountain bike frame set, I loved that bike.
thank you scott!! thank you very much. hey, do what you can definatly take your own pace and dont hurt yourself cant wait to see you accomplish this one!
Okay.
So.
There is pawls in the hub. It's pretty much a cassette hub with a sort of cap that holds the pawls down and prevents them from engaging while in FC mode.
No rush Scotty, you have the gear ready, sometimes it just takes a little time to get yourself ready. Get the crash mats out though on your first attempts so you don't hurt yourself and then you can have a good laugh at your own bloopers just like I do with my riding. Remember Scotty, difficult things take time, the impossible just takes a little longer. Really nice gear you got there. I look forward to you getting your confidence up to have a go at the fakie.
When it pops up that you posted I always tap on it. keep up the good work Scotty!
I rember like 3 or 4 years ago watching scotty and thinking how cool they are. It's crazy to see how far things have come
Nice use of flatland parts with the hubs and post
I love your guys videos so much you have no idea!!
Nice Bike Scotty .. Can't Slow Down .. Lets Go .
Happy when you ride, understand why you don't often
Love hub clicks.
Keep up the grind guys we can all agree your the best and most entertaining bmx riders of our generation! Love from uk 🇬🇧
I love your videos Keep up the good work
Have been looking at this coaster for a while and i even reached out to the company. Might grab one
Love that bike. Fire.
Matty is wrong. My Z-Coaster at it's tightest was 1/8th crank to disengage, I ended up going back to 1/5th because that small of an amount was making me engage it accidentally from time to time.
Same here. Was confused as to why he was saying that
Same. I was so confused. I run max spacer in mine because my feet move a lot 😂
I wanted to get into freecoasters but i had the hardest time getting into them because they were just so stinking heavy when I had one. I rode it for a few months before I went back to my cassette. I may buy one of these hubs and give it a go.
Scotty! Check into BERD spokes if you want the lightest spokes with an amazing amount of strength! Would be a perfect fit for your lightweight bike.
Already talked with BK they don't make them in bmx lengths yet but he's trying to convince them to make them.
@@bmxriderforlife1234 dang that stinks. I have them on my MTB now. Just did a video on dyeing them. They are light that's for sure.
Awesome to see FEC getting some limelight! Check out the Flatlander Jean William Prevost aka DUB, one of the best Flatlanders in the world without a shadow of a doubt.
Btw... Which of the Alienation Carbon Rims are you running F&R?
You can do it Scotty 😃👍
Engagement actually gets better as it breaks in the gap is not adjustable its 35 degrees. Lowest maintenance of all freecoasters, 0 drag simple design. Ti post isn't saving any weight it's just stronger
Wow I completely forgot about Nuke proof hubs haha brought me back!!
Pumped on this one!!
I just got myself my first freecoaster hub, I did so much research and there are so many different types of free coasters now it’s crazy. All similar yet so different.
What did you get?
@@bmxriderforlife1234 I got the oddessey clutch v2. It's good because you can adjust the slack without taking your wheel off. I find it has a lot of slack, I think I just need to get used to how a freecoaster works and feels. It's so weird being dead silent
damn beautiful bike.
Scotty and Matt. I don't know of you guys read these, but a hub you guys would be interested in is a Bendix 2 Speed Automatic made from 1960 to 1969. 3 red blue or yellow band around the center. A full kickback on the drive side gives you your brakes, a 1/2 kickback on that side gives you another gear. yellow and red both,low and standard with the the sane gear ratio for 24/26 inch bikes, but blue is standard and overdrive, and used on 20 inch Stingrays. I've got 3 of them 1 red and 2 yellows . 1 yellow on a huge Monark Tandem, another yellow on a 60s Schwinn CoEd, and the one 1 I love the most is a red on my 1963 Schwinn American. It takes some getting the hang of cause every time you come to a stop in the easy pedaling gear, it gives you a really long stroke on that side to get going again. The hub itself weighs a hefty chunk, probably more than your whole BmX bike, but in that era weight was not such an issue, my 1956 Schwinn Hornet is 57 pounds. Also don't get the 2 speed kickbacks hubs confused with the smaller bendix kickback hub. An RB-2 maybe? It only has a single red stripe around it, and the weight and hub diameter from front to back are about 1/2.
I remember those, absolute nightmare for messing around doing fakies etc! accidentally braked every time, never could get the hang of it!
@@carlstanton2550 I can't imagine trying to ride backwards with that hub, much better options for that. I just finished a full restoration on a 1966 Schwinn fastback Stingray turned out beautiful. I'm the second owner of the Stingray, and know the original owner well. I took it to its first vintage show and it was a hit..👍. My 1952 women's schwinn was also loved by all.
I don't ride BMX or do tricks, but I love Scotties Channel and how far he has come. It gives me a picture into another world of cycling that I normally wouldn't see. U
I've got a pair of Nuke Proofs from like '95, blast from the past.
I have that front hub, fits my Odyssey R25 forks no problem, has a titanium female axle too. Was the first person to get that seatpost also ha ha.
That freecoaster has got my attention! It seems to be pretty awesome! I wanna see what you guys think after riding on it for a while to see if it’s something I wanna throw on my bike. Awesome video BTW!
Freenight planetary if you haven't heard of it.
Bsd makes a version as well as alienation and colony.
New video yesssss
BK is a Beast he will Destroy on that bike💯👍😎
Watching bk build wheels makes me wanna come build.
Odyssey’s frecoaster is perfect in my opinion
We want you see riding your Bmx 😍
Lets see you ride it Matty
I love my Far East freecoaster hub. I have the 48h hub. It’s not really a planetary freecoaster like your used to seeing. However it is very far from the traditional freecoaster you are used to seeing. There is a video here on RUclips showing the internals of the hub.
The profile zcoaster has a ton of options for slack if you buy the rings mine is less than half a crank
you got the fakie all day long scotty 💪👊
Far East cycles is a flatland bmx brand! Good parts I ran some of their parts!
Nice!
I'm never here this early
11:15 Looks like 127° of slack and reminds me of a profile Z free coaster BIG TIME have you checked out the 90s East free coaster ?🔥🙌👍🚲💨
Hey Scotty, your videos have inspired me to get back into bmx. I have been watching your videos for years now and I wanted to ask if you recommended a free coaster or a cassette hub. Thank you and keep up the cool vids 👍
Have enough room in your Shed Bubs to store the bike? Bottle kids going to steal that bmx ASAP if you don't lock it up.
Dude get a planetary hub you got a bit of learning curve on fakies but just run a brake so you can slow down going backwards. It still rides like a normal hub going forwards.
Best of both worlds.
@@hazepheno925 don't worry bubbs got protection in the park. They hired the bottle kids as their underage body guard with the money from the liquor men whiskey company.
I’d say the advantage of the clicks is that you know once they’re gone you’re disengaged
For when you take the hub apart, I'm predicting it's got pawls on the clutch (if it's a clutch style) so it can coast without the clutch grinding.
I have a z coaster and what Matty is saying about how it works is not reflected in my experience with the hub at all. It functions very much like any other classic freecoaster when it comes to engagement and disengagement.
yeah it all depends on the slack ring. Mine is only a quarter crank to engage
@@chad_alan that’s a lot of slack lmao that would suck
@@Trailerwalker Shit I meant disengage. Its a quarter crank down and back to be in coaster mode
I remember the Sunday Ian Swartz frame had the integrated seat post. That thing was slammed though if Matty had a frame with one it would at least be at a good height!
There were frames with the post integrated and slammed even lower. I think one frame had it done higher than the Sunday did.
Most of us gravel riders ride 1x drive trains FYI. Usually 1x12 I have that same wolftooth chain ring on my gravel bike. And yes his cranks are better than ur sx Matty lol
Buy a tig welder and custom build a seat post into your bike would be very cool and be something big
hey now! I ride platforms on my gravel bike, not everyone needs to clip in lol 😂
On a Z coaster you can pick your slack ring in different degrees.
I khe khe makes one similar. its like a zcoaster but it is single pawl. flatland specific as well. its same weight as a zcoaster i think fully maxed out in ti but half the price. you wouldnt have the same engagement and strength as a zoaster and I would assume similarly with the fec one but it most be a decent amount lighter and as far as strength hard to say. i wouldnt go hucking any hard landing type stuff.
The hub seems to work like the WTP hybrid freecoaster i have one and used to ride the freenight hub it looks more like the wtp one
You need to try a FreeNight freecoaster.
For BKs bike you should get a cassette that is 11-50t 11 speed as the wider ratio and lighter gearing up top will more than make up for the loss of gears up front! Please I hope you see this something like a Sunrace cassette as that thing on climbs is not going to be fun!
Also Nukeproof are still going and are still as awesome as ever!
I’d grind those threads way before the forks. An axle is WAY cheaper than Ti forks. 🤦♂️
Not an axle those are bolts.. if u grind them to fit over you would tighten the ground threads right into ur hub
@@leift70 that’s actually a sold point. Good catch. I’m old school. Hub bolts had just came on to the scene when I faded out. Still have my McNeil whitton. 🤘
Iv just got the same front hub and rim, couldn't you tell me the spoke length please
I'd like to see matty on a 26" DJ and a slopestyle couse
where do you guys get these titanium frames??
I wonder if that hub has some bearings on ramps inside. Very curous
FEC does mostly flatland...I keep trying to get the "mantis" bars from them..but either I never have the cash..or they are out of stock....
The far east cycles freecoaster is a non planetary design. It's a design made by Japanese dude if I'm not mistaken in conjunction with far east. It's similar but not the same.
Wrong about the Z-Coaster backpedal disengagement. It’s a lot shorter rotation with the 20/33/45 slack ring!
Where did you get the hub from?
Can you put it in the description
You have to see what Jean william Prevost who rides flatland for far east cylces, and what he does on the back wheel and why the freecoaster is the way it is...Some of the wildest flatland on the rear wheel and You dont want the coaster to ever engage..
It has a sleeve that when you pedal back it slides over the 2 paws holding them down
Matty should weld his own bike making the seat post connected to the frame
Bro need that jejeje
Does this mean BK is also coming to the CX Cup at Trek? Lol
love bk
We need more building videosx
Can the slack be adjusted on free coaster hubs still?
Oh mattt answers my questions at end saying this hub isn’t adjustable.
Hi Scotty
Scotty i bet if you just Sat on a Bike and Showed us WE WOULD ALL Freaking out and break the internet :)
Yeah, definitely don't need Scotty riding gravel. That could be a serious disaster. He's doing great with the road biking
I have a cyclo-cross felt f1x and i have 2 gears in the front. Not all are single gear in front. Best bike ive owned
Nice litespeed but that chimney on the headset needs cutting off!
I've got a nuke proof front hub and a spinergy rear wheel on my mountain bike, the only bmx bike I ever owned was a GT pro performer with the white plastic 5 spoke wheels. Guess how old I am?🤣🤣🤣🤷🤷
50
There is a 20 degree slack disk available now
It's a clutch set up from 2016. 2 pawl clutch
Not a clutch
who dose that magnetic coaster ? sure ive seen pho on alfs yt
I feel like it has the internals of a z coaster with a small slack ring 🤷♂️
Hope this helps
I'm surprised you haven't found a belt drive instead of a chain.
Does anyone know why their brakes make soo much noise?
Can we plz get the mini gold 16 inch game of bike or wheel of misfortune
I got a DK freecoaster back wheel and the pedal still engages when I go backwards after I 180. I basically took off my cassette to pay 200 dollars for another fkn cassette.
Titanium is typically lighter than carbon believe it or not but also depends on the carbon layers and the titanium
Please the that hub apart. I really want to see whats inside
There is a video where it is taken apart on the channel IGI BMX titled FLAT SYSTEM 009 : CHANGING PAWLS & SPRINGS ON FEC BMX FLATLAND FREECOASTER. Hope this helps.
False info on the z-coaster there guys, slack ring goes from 20⁰ (1/18th of a crank) slack up to 120⁰ (1/3 of a crank)
can't wait for the disc brake agenda to end..
U know the bsd hub copied a freecoaster brand called free night that has the same technology in the hub. I have one of the hubs ready to build up and I bought it a while before bsd came out with there’s
Colchester
Can you do a video explaining everything you spoke about😂😂 ive been watching for 2 years but still dont know or understand anything about freecoasters whatsoever😂😂😂 im not a bmx rider per say so that could be why
