So damn funny when ethan kept laughing and grinning when Phu was miss pronounce Cassette 😂😂😂😂😂
Breh i just started coming to this place that’s literally next to my house, to get my free agent fixed. I thought Phu was just an ordinary man but I didn’t know this many ppl were watching Phu explain everything about bmx
hahaha Phu's been the man forever :)
everytime my man pho said cassette Ethans ass dying over there. I was loosing my mind laughing!!! Classic.
it's losing
I love seeing Ethan on your vlogs. He's a monster yet very humble.
You’ve done a great job with your YT channel, Alf! It be awesome to see Phu break down frame geometry, the pros and cons, the type of riders it suits, etc. YEW!! 🤙🏽
Out of all the video I been watching, trying to figure out the difference between free coaster vs cassette. You explain it the best in Layman's terms. I just became subscriber and a fan.
I’m an old dude trying to learn about newer tech BMX. This is the very best channel to learn from. Lots of changes since my 79 Mongoose. 😀
Rode a bmx back in the 80’s-90’s when I was a kid and this cassette thing is new to me, all we rode back then was freecoasters.
Thinking of riding again, and been on the fence if I should try the cassette this time around since it is the only built bike that I see available in my area.
Thanks for the vid. 👍🏽👍🏽
“What miss!?” Lmao
Shit had me on the floor
rift jhon sams here lmao!!!
@Dillon Milo lmao nice fake account
Bad customer service lol didnt even attempt to upsell her
@@mysterychannel6577 that's his daughter that's why
You continue to impress me with your generosity! You the man alf.
Thanks so much Colin :)
Niice recovery time gets a call and comes back and kills it !
He’s way too natural at this
I just started biking 3 weeks ago when I traded my norco mountain bike for a GT bmx and I'm loving it but my knees aren't 😂 loved the chill and helpful advice 🔥
I am 46 and I have rescued a BMX from going to the tip (the dump), I have no idea what any of these terms are? . But I am going learn a few tricks!
Never had so much fun... on my own... in a pair of jeans! 😉
Subscribed 💪🇬🇧
Hows the bmxing been since
@ 10:35 phu totally surprised me with open diff and welded diff, totally didn’t expect that from him. Mans know his bikes and cars🤙🏽
MORE VIDEOS WITH THIS GUY!!!!!! Thanks a lot for all the informations.... this guy knows it all and he’s funny af 😂👍🏻
i just switched to a free-coaster and its a whole different game lmao
its taking more getting used to than i expected
I love it
yeah... a game that involves cheatin'
I hate the slack though, I rode my friends and I destroyed my knee and have never gotten on one since lmao
Should i get one. Easy fakies are cool, but are they $200 cool
Free coaster opens up a whole new world of tricks I love my odyssey clutch
Odyssey kills it🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼❤❤🔥🔥
I’m thinking of getting one should i
how do you use it properly i try to adjust the slack but it doesnt seem to work no mater what way i turn the L key in the hub?
Yeah that’s cause it’s easy mode for fakies. Cassette 4 life
Very good description! I haven't riden BMX since 03' and I couldn't figure out how a guy on RUclips was going backwards without pedaling
Good informative video. I actually have all three, cassette, freewheel & freecoaster on my bikes. I also remember Alf's Freecoaster vs. Cassette tutorials on one of his How To Tuesday videos back in the day.
Which one would you recommend for beginners? Just to learn Basic tricks. Bunny Hop is Most important and jumps down the stairs
@@all_out_of_bubble_gum they won’t affect those tricks.
I learned so much .. thanks 🙏🏽.. may you be blessed
Best bmx channel on the tubes... man I would kill for one of those shirts. Sweat and all hahahaha
Thanks so much David!
Love these episodes at the shop. The free coaster is cool. I like it. Would I use one? Probably not. I like the cassette sound. The feel. Just kinda what I know a bike to be. If I build a second bike, I’ll throw one on for sure.
Stoked you dig them!
Thanks for the information 🙌🏼
💯💯
Very informative, I don't think there is a shop like Vu's in the entire state of Texas. I might take a trip there just to see it !
Phu is so funny and helpful i like this type of videos keep it up Alfredo
omg thank you ive been wondering why i couldnt do that 🙏
I like the bee buzzing
someone please explain. Do rear sprockets come with rear hubs? Or do you buy them separately? Where do you get the rear sprocket?
As always fu at epic the best bike shop in the world thanks Alfredo
Phu brother I think you're missing out on some possible revenue with the t-shirts.. Merch is where a lot of these dudes make money.. Just a thought..
Epic bro!
Awesome info I think I'll stick to the cassette and change it up once i progress a little more , also "bang" hook these boys up lol
Solid choice! Bang, you see it!
Hey Alfredo...nice one sir...😁👍
This shop is a must visit if you ride bmx!
I have a question for freecoaster will it miss up if you try to use it like cassette
I need to start running brakes cars hurt
They help for sure!
@@AlfredoMancuso I'm trying to find a way to put a picture of the railing I was on and what my bike looks like after I have to start all over nothing worth saving for my next bike and it was my favorite Easter frame bent up
Richard Riffle Damn! That sounds gnarly!!
@@AlfredoMancuso i have like two videos of my riding on here
what is that Handlebar on Dirt bike? im looking something like that on my dirt.
So which one is like or similar to what's on a mtb that fully rotates backwards nonstop?
Love epic I wish there was an epic in Portland
I know this is an old video but yes, there is a such thing as a titanium freewheel. Echo bikes made one for trials a few years and yes it was nice with 109 engagement points.
Is the cassette can fit on my fixie bike? 700c-23c
What about the Zcoaster by profile. Is that still being made?
Sure is!
It sucks its just a coaster w sound
The Profile Z-Coaster is superb iv enjoyed it atleast literally a ¼ of crank rotation its ingaged and or disengaged. Rides and clicks just like the normal cassette
Whats your online store to order parts? I have a project e bike ur tutoring is helping me a lot... im a Auti tech but old school on bmx thanks
@Alfredo...Might be a dumb question, but can you change out the teeth on a cassette..from a 9t to a 11t???
You actually can!
when i start a business I wanna hire ethan, man's can sell anything to u. im sold by his explanation of the coaster
Bought my cult gateway from epic and ethan sold it to me. Your not wrong he can sell anythibg
Thursdays are always better at epic. Thanks again for bugging phu. Lol your channel got me to shop there. He gets so happy for food. I bet if people brought food he would prolly hook em up with something free maybe just a slap in the face but the price is right.
Hahaha he loves himself so food for sure
Love that shop I travel up from San Diego to go there and get bike parts including cassdents 😂
Hey Alfredo can you do a segment on the freenight bmx hub?
I remember my federal freecoaster v2.. You could adjust the slack with an Allen wrench.. When I rode BMX I was wild about freecoasters.. Now I just be in the studio bro..
I just built two different wheel sets, just swap out depending on what I feel like riding.
any recomedation on videos talking about the differant between bikes from the 90's and bikes today (bmx bikes)
Is that White cult seat in the background an AK seat? If so tell Phu I need to order ASAP
Hit them up, everything’s selling out FAST
Love this guy also to alfred...
Cassette ftw 🔥
Hellya!!
Just love the buzzing sound when freewheeling 👌🔥🐝🎶
Yeah bro catching that front foot all day cause it actually stays where you left it and has pressure immediately
I learned on coaster, it feels so much more natural to me although sometimes i’ll still throw on a cassette
This taught me alot ngl
Hey man, what's different between the female hub and a male hub.
I mean which of these two performs well? Hope you make a video of it. Thanks a Lot!
Female bolts go into the hub, and an axle has bolts that thread onto it
What up Brochachi !, I ride free coaster for now and its cool , but I do miss the noise and originality of a casset
I found a silent free coaster at goodwill rides ok kinda strange no clicking sound....?
Wish I could rep the epic tee out here in Maryland
I think I have a free coaster lol it makes no noise. This was a nice video, I wanna try Cassette now
You could have a less quiet cassette hub. Do your pedals crank back if you make the bike go in reverse?
@@AlfredoMancuso nah it doesn’t they stay in the same place!
I'm riding downhill bikes and used to ride bmx (with cassette) like 5-6 years ago... Wanna start getting into BMX again - would you recommend getting a freecoaster as it makes tricks easier, or should I stick to cassette because my muscle memory would get confused if bunny hops and stuff feels different between my downhill and my bmx bike?
i would recommend the coaster. i ride dh and bmx and there’s no difference
I started biking on a khe coaster cause a flat lander sold me a bike back I'm 2005 and switch to a cassette like 7 years later , went back to coaster but they sucked cuz they weren't as reliable. Now in 2024 I'm back on a coaster and love the new improvements and reliability
With a freecoaster is it harder to ride like distance wise than a cassette i have 2 freecoaster and i am waiting on a chain i never rhode one so thats why im aski g
phu really knows everything about bike. no doubt he really survive his business.
Damn what’s up with that Santa Cruz big ripper in the back there? How much if you guys still have it😝
I’ve got a 1998 Specialized Hard Rock that I’ve beaten the hell out of since it was new and my hub has never failed. Changed the sprocket a few times though. Honestly they just don’t build them like they used to.
Bet it weighs at least 30 pounds
Nice vid g
Thanks G
Idk bout commenting but mines is a question. I remember as a youth until mid 90's When racing we preferred the 44t chainring 16t freewheel sprocket. If I were to get a 9t cassette what chainring can I use to attain the feel of 44t :16t. gear ratio. Keep in mind I still have my. 84 db super streak so yeah I'm old but I still ride. So keep postin an teaching youngsters 2 love tha bike world.
Thanks Rick! The exact ratio for a 44:16 is literally a 22:8, right down the middle. But because the 22 tooth sprocket isn’t really used as much anymore and neither is the 8 tooth driver it goes up by 1 tooth in the rear and 3 in the front to a 25:9. If you want it to feel a bit harder to crank, which gives you my torque you could do a 25:8 or a 28:9 again any addition of a tooth in the rear requires and addition of 3 in the front sprocket to keep the ratio feeling good.
Tyvm u just saved me tons of time n wrench turning n pulling my driver arm off n on. Since I gave my 9t free coaster to my buddy hmmm.....I got a 10t cassette hub., looks like lacing wheels is n my future.....tyvm you guys n the pool of knowledge is amazing
Glad to be of service :)
"What Miss?" LMFAO
which is better for wheelie?
Courage Adams defies those theories! Watch his riding style freecoaster or cassette it doesn't matter! Lol
Can someone tell me how is it called when you have hub that brake when you pedal backwards? Please
In Germany its called „rücktrittbremse“ 😂😅 dont know the english word though 🥶😂
@@Jukofri okey
@@Jukofri translator say this: Brake retraction
regiisek hmm okay😅 maybe its also just Called „backpedalbreak“ idk
Never thought I'd go to freecoaster but whatever reason when I would cab my opposite foot would be in front instead and that screwed me up when I came to half cab manuals
lmao had the same thing last year got a freecoaster and im prob never go back to cassette it open so much tricks for me (i ride street)
So, what young stevie does?
@@gerttremerie5562 samee
@@maricelbonto3479 not sure I'd have to watch him
Freecoaster GANG Wya??!
🙌🏻
Yo
Freecoaster gang!
Never turning my BMX into a scooter.
I need help repainting a bike frame like what paint to use or what grit sandpaper to use ect...
i would use 80 and 120 grit
paint doesn’t rlly matter but i would recommend rustolum paint + clear coat
@@nathanbell3560 I'm definitely gonna use clear coat but I'mma need to buy a lot of sand paper or does paint remover work too?
Free coasters open up a lot more freedom but cassettes kinda give you a bit more control with pedal pressure
100% agreed
Dude talks about maintenance here im still rocking my federal v3 coaster bout 6 years on dirt etc.
And yes, its still running perfect.
You must not ride as hard on your hub like some other dudes do because some of my homies need to take apart their hubs almost monthly
Alfredo Mancuso Holy moly, i cant even imagine what taking it apart monthly felt like...
In High School of 2009, I bought a Stolen Cheater bike that came with a freecoaster. It seemed cool until randomly it would stop working and I'd chin checked myself on my handle bars because there would be no engagement. Basically It was like I would pedal forward without a hub on which ended up making me fall forward. It was weird, I guess it had to be adjusted or something but the instructions were wack. I then switched to a Shadow Conspiracy Raptor Cassette and never looked back. This was long ago but I'm old and will never use freecoasters again unless I wake up with Garrett Reynolds skills ahahaha. Great video though on the mechanics of these parts.
I would sport and epic shirt all day every day!
I want that epic shirt.
Where is this shop?
Westminster, CA
Your welcome Alfredo...
🙏🏻🙏🏻☺️
helpful
Glad to hear that
I have a question! Which BMX company made the first freecoaster ever?
ACS - RL Edge rims
Free coaster is amazing and i wish i could afford one.
You guys are friggin’ awesome!!! Thank you!!! So question, what’s the difference between a 16T freewheel vs a 9 T cassette with regard to speed, specs, etc.?
What about the 12t freewheel?
So now with this explain the profile z coaster
What happens when you back pedal freecoaster? Newbie question
It just pedals backwards. It won't catch unless you pedal forward, so if your going backwards and put pressure on the pedal forward it'll start cranking backwards. I'd occasionally have to back pedal once to disengage the freewheel before going fakie but it was years ago so maybe they got better tech now
I never heard of bang until the video....Bang hook them up!!
Where is the shop!!!!
Funny ..I ran a freecoster in 02 and they were not cool! lol it was fun tho I thought it was slick but I didn’t like the slack but you do get use to it I think it was a haro! 👌🏾
Honestly I think I’ll just get both
I’ll take the sweaty shirt!
Phu spreading knowledge
Always!
I saw that this dropped literally as I was telling my friend I didn't know what i wanted
I read your mind fam
So wat did u decide on??
Personally I find pedal pressure more important than fakies but I've never been good at fakies🤦♂️❤❤❤
@@Bigrig_trmc my friend has a freecoaster so Imma try it out but for now I'm sticking to cassette
@@AlfredoMancuso every time
Keep it up guys I was hit by a car broke both wrists and now I'm just chilling watching RUclips
Sheesh! Be safe my dude!
Get better. I broke a wrist and my shoulder, two months ago, after going down on my enduro on the street. I feel your pain
@@srichard6237 went to my bike shop here in Indiana Mishawaka called- the house of bikes - got me the same exact frame from all the riders here went in on this frame and surprise when I got there there it was just all new and white
you should have said pt 2 sir mancuso
You’re right haha
