Nah, looks much nicer and is lighter in person. Tyler Gillard was riding it last March and has been putting it through it's paces for a while. I would venture a guess as to it's been re-worked a few times sine then, but should be close. (I hope)

Freecoaster producers should really try to restrain themselves on public comments on delivery dates.

To FULLY disengage, yes all coasters need this.

No, I'm saying I picked up a couple old Mix hubs and I'm going to harvest their parts and make one nice one because I can't be fucked ordering another set of brand new spokes for a hub with stupid flanges and small bearings..
