I have a little wobble in my clutch, but whats worse is random engagement doing backward peg wheelies.  I can do a full back pedal, to ensure everything is full disengaged and then go into a backwards peg wheelie.  After rolling for about 10 feet the hub will enage for no apparent reason and the cranks start spinning.

Fuckin Ghost Rider bud

Well, I found the issue tonight.  I took the hub apart to find the clutch adjustment grub screw free floating inside the hub shell.  Maybe I loosen it too much before as I like to ride with full slack. I put the hub back together after cleaning all parts and lots of fresh grease.  I'm pleased to say the hub feels like new again and no more issues.

I still have a little play in mine.  Not even a month use on it ... Just re-laced it so maybe itll sort itself out.

I have one on the way pretty excited.

I watched the engagement video on there and george said you can use pedal pressure with this hub. Is that true???

Meh, as long as you tighten the axle bolts hard there's no wobble (had mine for 8 months now). And yes you can use pedal pressure all day! Pedal pressure feels so much better on the clutch then any other freecoaster Hub I've ridden

Sweet good to know!  I had mine built up to a federal stanceXL rim with some eclat spokes, i'm excited. I', just hoping the slighly wider rim wont give me issue with my older forecaster frame.

Wrong!!  Tighten until the bolts snap, theres still wobble.  Multiple people have reported back  that unless running your chain tight, there is a wobble.

You know, youre right I must know nothing about my own hub I've been riding
