What else can I help you with?
Will not freewheel in reverse?
Most bikes don't do that. You need one fitted with a freecoaster hub to get freewheel in reverse.
What is a freecoaster hub and how does it differ from a traditional cassette hub in terms of functionality and design?
A freecoaster hub is a type of bicycle hub that allows the rider to coast without pedaling backward. It differs from a traditional cassette hub in that it has a clutch mechanism that disengages the hub when coasting, eliminating the need to pedal backward to engage the hub. This design feature allows for smoother and more controlled riding, especially during tricks and maneuvers.
What is a freecoaster BMX and how does it differ from a traditional BMX hub?
A freecoaster BMX is a type of BMX hub that allows the rider to coast backward without pedaling. This differs from a traditional BMX hub, which engages the pedals when the bike is moving backward.
What are the main differences between a BMX freecoaster and a cassette hub, and which one would be more suitable for my riding style?
The main difference between a BMX freecoaster and a cassette hub is how they engage when pedaling backward. A freecoaster allows you to pedal backward without the cranks moving, while a cassette hub engages immediately when you pedal backward. If you prefer doing tricks that involve pedaling backward or fakie tricks, a freecoaster would be more suitable for your riding style. If you prefer a more immediate engagement when pedaling backward, a cassette hub would be a better choice.
What are the differences between a cassette and a freecoaster hub in terms of functionality and performance?
A cassette hub has a fixed gear mechanism that engages when pedaling forward, providing instant power transfer. A freecoaster hub allows the wheel to spin freely backward without engaging the drivetrain, making it easier to perform tricks and maneuvers. Freecoaster hubs may have a slight delay in power transfer compared to cassette hubs, affecting overall performance for certain riding styles.
Can you pedal backwards on a freecoaster?
Yes you can, however why would you? you can also adjust the slack to make it into a regular hub.
What are the main differences between a freecoaster and a cassette hub in terms of performance and functionality?
A freecoaster hub allows the rider to coast backward without pedaling, while a cassette hub requires pedaling to move backward. Freecoasters are often preferred for certain tricks and maneuvers in BMX riding, while cassettes provide more immediate power transfer for faster acceleration.
Freecoaster or cassette which is better?
freecoaster
Do you need a chain whip to change to single speed?
Depends on what hub you have, and how you want to do the change. If your current hub has a multi-speed freewheel you will need a freewheel puller. If your current hub is a freehub you will need a chain whip and a lockring tool. If your current hub is an IGH, all you need to do is to unhook your shifter cable.
What is the difference between a freecoasterhub and a freewheel hub?
A freewheel will let the wheel roll forward w/o the pedals moving, but will pull on the pedals when the wheel is rolled backwards. A freecoaster hub can be rolled backwards w/o pulling on the pedals.
You have an ABD bmx rear wheel that came fully assembled on an ABD 720 bmx bike can you replace the hub in it with a federal freecoaster hub?
Yes you can.... you can put any hub, spoke, and rim combinations together...maybe a few ecceptions but you can deffinetly do that... just bring the parts to your local shop and have them lace it.
What is a bidirectional hub?
Don't really know what you're asking for here, as that's not a generally acknowledged name. There are freecoaster hubs, which are recognized by that they can be rolled backwards w/o the pedals moving along.
