no. The whole design behind freecoasters only allows you a decent amount of slack and slower engagement, or quick engagement and no slack.

Well, all i can say is replace all the bearings, only tighten the non drive side cone nut down hard. Keep the driver one finger tight at most.

Check your chain alignment and dont keep your chain super tight.

Also avoid grinding on your drive side, hitting the driver with a ledge is one way to blow it up for sure.

you destroyed all your driver bearings. Same with me, its because you probably have both your chain too tight and that locknut too tight.

When i keep that locknut so its about an 1/8th of a turn away from touching the driver, it works great once i tighten it into the frame.

When you tighten that nut and put it on your bike, is it really stiff to pedal it backwards?

are you sure? when i crank mine down the driver binds....hard.

how tight do you do up the locknut that goes against the driver?

keep an eye out for cracks. it should be fine as long as the frame isnt bent or feels funny.

is that the downtube or toptube? and is it a chromoly frame or aluminium?

Id say ask brodie if its possible to warrenty, if not, ride it and keep a close eye out for cracks.

Ive seen worse ridden and its turned out fine.

Naw, it was there to begin with. As long as its not arguing or stupid comments its alright. Dont stress it.

You gotta remove all the outer hardware, then tap it out with a soft faced hammer tapping towards the hub on the DRIVE side

Tapping the other way will destroy the internals.

what are you going to change it to?

Why do you want to change it? You would need a good reason to.

i doubt it will be a problem anymore.

Yeah why not try out firefox

have you tried a different browser?

pm me the problem and ill sort you out myself or ill let you know who can

to be honest, im really not sure, youd be better off contacting tyler, jordan or radek about that

90% sure its a 6802, could possibly be 6902, but ill check my hub tomorrow to make sure. but im going to say 6802 now

i totally got a face full of that....maybe a disclaimer next time bro *blinded*

Well it could be one of many things, but rebuilding the coaster, and making sure your cranks are done up properly is a good place to start.

Really, the first thing i do to my coaster if i have a problem is rebuild it. If i still have the problem, then i know to start elsewhere. Try that, then come back.

So you dont think calling bmxers clowns and just being generally rude to the people in that thread wasnt disrespectful?

remove your driver cone nut, then pull the driver out. then tap the axle out through the driver side(tapping on the driver side axle). The bearing in question will come out. Then remove the other cone nut, and slide the bearing off. Just spin it with your fingers. If it feels really rough and stiff, its dead. If it feels smooth or relatively smooth, it should be good.

There was no link to your note on my noteboard. ???

If you see someone saying something completely wrong like that, just point it out in the thread if its wrong/just not right. At least then any wrong answers wont be from the poster. Otherwise, just ignore them.

But i hear ya, its annoying, but its the internet, wutchu gonna do!

Cheers!
