You have no clue what he'll get bored of. Some people have been on coasters for years and never get bored of them.

I don't know exactly what you mean by this. The Alienation is a Reverse clone with a different shell that Alienation wrote their name on (so, it can't be a better hub than the Reverse), and it sells for more than the KHE hub does (in conclusion, f*ck Alienation).

If you're saying buying a complete wheel will be cheaper then a custom then I most likely agree because custom wheels can get expensive.

Thats exactly what i was trying to say. And I just remember seeing something about the bearings hold up better floating somewhere around the internet. I had no clue it was a clone. But my point was that the stock wheel will be cheaper then a custom.

Have you tried a freecoaster hub before? If not I suggest you do. For some reason it's harder riding fakie on one of those than pedaling backwards. My friend got one and we both hated it, he got rid of it right away. Plus a cassette is just more fun.

the only bad thing is so speed control but then you learn to control your speed alot better and get better bike control...i donno it depends on the rider, i don't plan on ditching mine anytime soon cassette is pretty fun though...
