All of them (except the Boo) have the same KHE internals...

The CULT was the only one to use different style bearings,

I guess that didn't work out very well if that story is true...

Boo is the only one that looks nice. Others are bulky. Both styles work well.

Have you considered the Ezra or Salt Trapez? The Ezra seems to work well for me & it's very light.

Of all of those KHE clones, the Greyhound "Flat" version has the advantage of having a aluminum axle and small flange that results in only 508g.

I don't have side to side play in my Geisha..

anyway, the Greyhound female axle has the "cone nuts" so you can adjust it as tight as you want.

- see the big nut in front of the driver and on the other side:

My greyhound makes a horrible bang when it engages, maybe it needs greasing up, no side to side play tho

That doesn't sound normal, better open it up and take a look.

I have a few khe giesha lights, one greyhound street & 2 crisman's and don't have side to side on any of them :-)

My son has a colony freecoaster on his street bike which I thought was smoother than the others so I purchased the rainbow colony and have been riding it about three months now with not one single drama (I know they are the same as the khe's but I think the colony & greyhound street are the smoothest I've ridden

*NOTE* Grease them before use even on brand new as they don't use hardly any grease in them !!
I take the two dust covers off each side bearing on the hub + the one you can get to on the driver pack those FULL of a good quality grease and replace covers fit and ride :-)

The salt is a rebranded ezra
