anyone try a profile z coaster yet kinda curious if they're any good

got to ride my buddies it was really nice... feels very different in ways to the KHE design but the cassette sound is nice to be able to alert you if you are engaged or not.... But is it worth the $600 CAD it will cost you after tax not likely
yeah i doubt its worth what itd cost to get here but i have friends in the states i could have them grab it for me and bring it over the border to avoid tax's and potentially get it a bit cheaper from like dans or something

tried my buddies clutch and it has the same problem all odyssey hubs have they roll slow and have alot of drag even their cassettes have this problem and I know free coaster inherently have drag but I've felt smoother coasters

Have had two ody hubsets. Neither rolled slowly. Have worked with a clutch. Did not roll slowly.

What's causing the issue in the hubs you've seen?

they roll slow compared to other companies hubs, you prolly remember my macneil well compare an odyssey v3 cassette when they were still made to the we the people q lite hub and the q lite is a much smoother faster rolling hub. ive noticed many odyssey hubs with the press fit collars can slow down once tightened into drop outs maybe its just me but i really dont like the way odyssey hubs roll, the clutch felt reliable like it always engaged where it was supposed to but it just didnt feel smooth to me compared to say a khe or a nankai maybe its just that clutch hub as ive only tried one and only for a couple hours but it wasnt very old only about a week. also if you know alex haxton from when core was still around, he had a vandero 2 hub that literally just stopped rolling and you can ask cr he didnt do anything abusive to that hub dont even think it ever had a grind done on it. in my opinion its most likely poor quality control with the hubs that have the press fit collars cause ive seen two brand new g sport hubs one rolled like shit the other was really smooth other then that i have no idea.

already seen that add can't afford it right now or I would totally grab it. Messed up my shoulder waiting on surgery and I can't go back to my usually job right now safety concerns and shit :/ hopefully they can do my surgery soon
