I´ve heard bad things about this hub, but can someone tell me which are the disadvantages of this freecoaster? Based on your experience.What´s the difference between this and the nankai? If it is properly maintained , I think it might work well.

thanks

it will work fine, it just doesnt match the quality and durability of a nankai.

I rode a nankai for about 2 years and it worked. I had to rebuild it once (internally, duh.) and adjust the slack/repack bearings about every 2 months.

ive had my nankai since last november. no issues.

just buy it, i hear alot of people huff and puff about this hub. but honeltly it its ur first f/c its fine i think. if it lasts u a year it was worth the 20(?) dollars u paid for it. if anything ull be awsome at adjusting and o-hauling hubs once u get a good one.

taska's are ok and the best bit about them is they teach you how to fix and maintain a freecoaster!

Thanks for the info. but I want to change the super big 18t cog for a 11 or 12t cog, like the Kore on flatlandfuel, is it going to work with the taska? I also need some cranks, that is why I am buying such a cheap freecoaster, I´ll change it later for a nankai.

if u find ur f/c backpedaling when it shouldnt u can add a little tension to the chain to try to keep it from doing it. idk if u already tried this and its just something the taska hub does.

The Taska @ FF, I beleive is the older version, which will be ok in the short-term.(so cheap) The later version that I have,has been going for over year now.
Not sure about those kore coqs tho...I think they need to be spot welded to holdem in place as the spring is kinder flimsy without.

I had the old aluminum shelled one that came stock with the Hoffman EP. I rode it for about a week before I decided it was too sketchy and dangerous. Use a Nankai.
