Another question: Do I need a proper cone wrench to dismantle the freecoaster? Or would a standard open wrench do?

Or would a standard open wrench do?A cone wrench helps but you may not really need one. If you just use two open wrenches on the jam nuts on either side of the hub, one cone or the other will loosen up for you -then you'll be able to take the axle and parts out from one side. Cone wrenches are nice for easily getting the tension just right when putting it back together although admittedly I managed for years without them -just gotta fiddle a lot with the tension by tightening the pegs which takes some patience =p
Hello, I just got a 2011 DK Opsis... the geometry is very nice but it feels pretty damn heavy. ....any advice to put this puppy on a diet?? Thanks : )
The thing is, im not very good so buying a pro bike seems stupid to me, but im wondering if a lighter bike would help me with some of the tricks. Im only 5'5 and have a hard time getting the bike off the ground. The geometry of the Opsis has helped a little bit, but im still having a tough time manuvering the bike.
