You are one of the few people that consistently has a bike I'd gladly own in place of my own.
Always love what you come up with.

Yea I'm late, but I was looking at the geo for the Night Train and that is sooo spot on awesome geo. Just tweek a few things here and there.

joostflux (Aug 10, 2011 at 23:50)

Yep, yep. Couldn't agree more.

I cracked two Bettys..... quite horrible. I loved the ride when it wasn't broken tho.

joostflux (Jul 18, 2011 at 23:04)

They do ride really well. If this cracks, I'll just get another frame for free haha.

lexx (Jul 19, 2011 at 0:29)

They wouldn't warranty it for me because I already got one for free from them.

joostflux (Jul 19, 2011 at 10:26)

That's slightly disheartening.

lexx (Jul 19, 2011 at 13:19)

Their lifetime warranty states they will not replace anything that goes over what you originally paid...... which is massive BS imo

joostflux (Jul 19, 2011 at 13:30)

That's really unfortunate :/ especially because the geo really is spot on.

lexx (Jul 19, 2011 at 13:42)

I got a NS now because I didn't want an unreliable frame anymore.

Is that the bmx freecoaster or the MTB one?

joostflux (Jun 24, 2011 at 18:42)

It's the MTB one.

sol-gh (Jun 25, 2011 at 3:13)

Oh, I was thinking of getting one but people say they arn't the best, whats your views on this hub?

joostflux (Jun 25, 2011 at 11:33)

Haven't had it long enough to decide yet. But it seems most people complain about coasters because they don't maintain them on a regular basis. If you do that, you should be fine. They just take a lot more maintaining than a cassette hub does and that's what throws people off (I think).

sol-gh (Jun 25, 2011 at 11:34)

Nice, I want one. Do you just need to re-grease it all and change the bearings now and then? Besides £35 for one isn't half bad. I need one for a my DJ bike rebuild.

joostflux (Jun 25, 2011 at 11:37)

Yea, pretty much. They are really easy to work on as well. I got mine for 20 bucks because the guy didn't know how to fix it. Then I fixed it for 5 bucks total and bam! I now have a freecoaster haha. You may not like how it engages though. If you thought it would engage like a cassette, you will definitely be disappointed.

sol-gh (Jun 25, 2011 at 11:43)

Yeah I heard it takes a while to engage, but ah well. Still get the awesomeness of going backwards without pedaling!

Yellow Betty?

Your rig is getting more and more dialed. Iz nise. tup

joostflux (Jun 17, 2011 at 13:59)

Thank ya. Brake would be nice though.

seraph (Jun 17, 2011 at 14:59)

Formula RX. Cheap, light, powerful, looks good.

joostflux (Jun 17, 2011 at 18:45)

Is the lever sturdy? I heard that it felt kinda flimsy and that's the only reason I don't have one right now.

seraph (Jun 17, 2011 at 23:00)

The lever is very sturdy. I use them for XC/AM and I know a guy who uses one for street/dirt.

joostflux (Jun 17, 2011 at 23:01)

Thanks for the info dude. I'll definitely look into it.

Jose-David-DH (Jul 10, 2011 at 20:21)

i have one for 4X, street and dirt it's the best brake i've had

seraph (Jul 11, 2011 at 10:54)

Good to know! I'll relay that info to the guys at The Hive.
