Suprised your bother isn't still on an Ezra.

I love how light the Ezra, Salt, Dartmoor coasters are, but I kind of miss the engagement feel of a screw type coaster.

No one sells the Ezra coaster anymore right?
I didnt consider one because iamHollywood is a douche

flatlandfuel.com has ezra coasters

Anyone else been noticing that the gap on the Clutch seems to increase as the session progresses? I think the little grub screw on the slack mechanism works itself loose after impacts on the ground...

That is very unlikely, but what is probably happening is that the helical adjuster is taking a little time to get pushed back together after you re-open the gap. It needs the clutch element banging into it to shove it back along the axle out of the way, and this sometimes takes a little while.

I made a couple of videos of how to take the hub apart and put it back together again if anyone needs this:-

From what I understood from my local shop the Eclat one had a production error in a spring or something similar that Eclat sent out replacements for. I havent seen a new batch being made though with the fault corrected, so maybe their project failed.

Talked to a retailer, turns out they discontinoud the Blind. I guess it didnt live up to its hype.

I've been wondering how these hubs were faring.

I didn't have a good feeling about them once I saw the ratchet ring tooth profile.  They spaced the teeth out to try and give the hub more slack, but depending on where the teeth are in comparison to the ring, it might not actually have that affect. 

I still kind of want to try one out.

Laced up the Clutch about a week ago.  Holy shit that thing is smooth, I don't think I could be any happier with it to be honest.  That said, I had been using a Geisha Street for 6(?) years, but still.  Slack set on max, but still engages so quickly and seamlessly it makes half cabs super easy and pop much higher.  Well worth the wait.
