St Martin - Freecoaster Hub

[Mr News Bot]

The freecoaster of the St Martin Darwin complete bikes is working so well that they decided to sell it as spare hub. It's not a completely new freecoaster though. They use internal system of KHE and wrapped it in a light alloy body. The whole hub weighs 480 g or 17.1 o.z. and comes with a 9T driver. So it's actually a bit lighter than the new Greyhound Flat freecoaster.

What we don't know for sure is if KHE changed the internal system over the course of the years and which version is used for the St Martin freecoaster.

Look great! The bearings in driver must be biggest then on KHE, so strongest)
Hope the hub shell are remade (like KHE Geisha lite, Federal, Alination...) and bearing not move inside (like on Geisha Gold)

Would buy one of these if they release spares for it :]

Why no 14mm holow axle?

I'm really sick of all those extremely long 10mm axles. If I need to buy me some 14mm adapters for this axle, I rather go with the greyhound and its female version (Lighter in the end).
But thats only me, because I always prefer 14mm axles on my backwheel.

Regardless of that, this seems to be a nice coaster.

How does the price compare to the khe?

Just wondering if there are any how too's on this hub. Is the gap adjustment the taking the washer thing?? any help much appreciated!!
thanks

I didn't have it in my handy, but I guess everything should be similar as with the KHE hubs. I can not imagine something else than the washers to adjust the gap.
