definitive freecoaster thread
JFax:
From the looks of it it is one of those "shemale" hubs.
Thus I dont think there would be much different, other than your bike looking neater pegless.

Not really. I mean it might go round if you kick really hard, but there will always be an inherent conflict with how all freecoasters work.
When you back pedal there HAS to be some drag to the axle to retract the engagement parts, so in the KHE style ones this would be the ball springs dragging on the clutch. In the G-Coaster (if we ever get it out) it would be the axial spring on the cams.
Dont hold your breath though.

What I heard was that KHE had bought an exclusive use from a manufactor (probably yu hub http://www.yuhub.com.tw/en/products/?method=detail&aid=118). And now that period is over. That's why you suddently see alot of similar hubs coming out without the KHE name on it.
Gooby:
Colony Coaster looks pretty similar to a Reloader on the outside at least. Will probably be $200+ coming from Colony.

I like the threaded hub guard.
"There was word that Colony was “maybe” doing a freecoaster a few months back. They just dropped this photo on Instagram a minute ago with this caption to go with it “Colony Freecoaster. Male or female axle RHD or LHD. Out November.” … Looks like they decided to put it into production along with a hub guar to go with it! Expect more info on this closer to its release or at Interbike in September."
