ummmmm
team dumb ass
i dont want to even think about go go gadget handjobs
that image a bit raw, graphic and way too much info being
shown
thank you

[norcalmutt]

it sorta looks like betweena nankai and a tsaska
huh
a hybrid of those two
lol

[Daniil]

Mutt, what exactly does this hub seem to borrow from Nankai but one of the locknuts?

Alas I found out that the hub is a Taska with their own driver which is not one piece.

[norcalmutt]

the overall look of it looks nankai
but yeah your right alot of the pieces
are like taska hubs
a hybrid like i said.

Next on their list:

KGB Flula Hoop Rim
KGB Dagbar Handlebars
KGB Loader freecoaster

Even if it isn't an improvement of the Nankai, it will create competition in the freecoaster market, which in the end will make companies have to make more improvements to the crappy freecoaster that exists today, in my opinion.

[norcalmutt]

heya hopefully they will as there are too
many crappy freecoasters out there and
few good freecoaster that actually work.

I like the look of this hub, but thats probably all i will like...honestly, ive realized i have had zero problems with my nankai, and even tho i thought about trying something else, for the sealed bearings, or the 3/32 teeth,i think im just gonna stick with my nankai and profile shell. I like tinkering with my bike so i dont mind re-greasing it every so often. Mine runs smooth and always works like it should for me.

Yeah i feel the same way about it lou! Theres nothing wrong with my hub. So why switch it out. I also did consider any other sealed hub cuz for the longest time this has been the only part unsealed. Why fix it or change it out if it is not broken?

go go gadget flatlander
go go gadget scuff
go go gadget roll and flip

ok
enough of that
