Merrit bearingless driver coaster

<< < (2/3) > >>

dude...:
i agree with that, if bushings were suitable for load bearing applications like this then surely we would have ditched ball bearings completely in our hubs years ago?

Prodigal Son:
Didn't éclat make a bushing cassette?

dude...:
yeah theres been a few cassettes, but not a coaster.

its different in a cassette cos you have bearings in both sides of the hubshell, wheras in these yuhub coasters, the driveside bearing sits on the outside of the driver itself, meaning forces from landing etc are transferred through the driver bearings

some draw a diagram if you dont get what i mean

condrbkr:
Wasn't the Cult coaster bushings? I remember it being hotly anticipated and failing miserably.

The Cult coaster had/has a needle bearing in driver along with 1 (and now 2) sealed bearings.
Most other Yu-Hub/KHE style coasters had/have a bushing and 2 sealed bearings in the driver.
