There is the KHE Geisha, that is a top of the line freecoaster hub.

pfffft...no...theres the KHE reverse and theres a federal one both are better then the geisha but the geisha works on mtbs but this is a bmx forum and your names BMX67456343 so i imagine your looking at bmx...the reverse is ment to take more abuse...

geisha is on sale on 3ride tho,
(i think)

Also before you buy one go about 5-6 days chainless and do alot of rollbacks and see how you like it...

I've heard that the KHE Geisha should be a good one as mentioned, that one is for mtb though and i guess you want a bmx hub.

im getting the khe reverse the federal is basicly a khe reverse just with there name on it and the federal comes in a bigger size driver...the geisha is made out of aluminum which wouldn't be too bad unless your really hard on your rear wheel.


edit- i just looked on 3ide( http://3ride.com/bmx/default.asp ) and the geisha is 150...

another edit- also the federal is about 11$ cheaper and it is the exact same hub.

You, leave. Reverse AND Federal are the same hub. They both suck. I have personal experience with the Reverse, a god damn week in, the driver bearings went. They used to small of a bearing in the driver so unless you really really for no apparent reason want one of those two. Dont get it. Best coaster OUT, would be a Geisha with a solid axel or if you dont ride pegs, a Nankai Techno-Lite, with 3/8's to 14mm adapters.

http://flatlandfuel.com/ for the Nankai.

http://empirebmx.com for the geisha solid axel.
OR http://3ride.com for the Geisha.

well when you first got it did you grease it?...also a better explenation of what happened would be better consider all you said was small bearing and they suck...also if you didnm't happen to read the whole thread i stated that they were the same anyway considering your the freecoaster expert tell us why they went?...

Know what you're talking about before your fingers hit the keyboard. I ride pegs, i do rails (yes, down stairs, large ones), i am very hard on my wheels and i have NEVER in over a year and a half had a SINGLE problem with my geisha. My geisha is also the original ones, one of the very first ones to come out. Now, i have hear many many many stories about the reverse screwing up, driver bearings blowing out and all sorts of things. Same goes with the federal one. garbage.

get the geisha street. the reverse and federal are made for flatland, your an idiot if you buy one. I was riding with tyrone and he broke his federal in 20 minutes. oddy makes one but i broke it and it's a 3 piece axle. So is the geisha but KHE is stronger. I would recomend taking your freecoaster apart when you get it and take out most of the washers in the hub body. But the best freecoaster is the new g-sport freecoaster. not sure if it's out yet but it's that next shit for sure.

well sry this is the first time ive heard of the reverse having a problem...all i was going off was ive read things about the geisha in the forums and ive read nothing about the reverse so i figured they have been solid so far, i have the reverse know but my parents are keeping it for christmas...so ill let you know how mine turns out...

good luck and be careful with your landings, dont put a peg on it. The axle is just way to fragile
