Odyssey Clutch wins in my opinion. I've had both the Clutch and Zcoaster.

I've heard that the amount of slack you can have with the Odyssey Clutch is rather limited. Can anyone address that? Does it have a decent amount of slack adjustability?

For mine with a 20t sprocket, the max slack is a little over a 1/4 crank and minimum slack is about a 1/8 crank.

1/4 of a crank sounds fine especially since i run 23t (it should be even more). Thanks.

Khe or with khe internals.
Hollow strong axle and never never stucks and pedalling backwards.Best for pedalling g turns.
Specially the new editions with the acb bearing its perfect.
I havent try the odyssey or the profile though.

Imagine if one of these companies would make a limited run of 48 hole coasters for the all the retro frames dropping  :rolleyes:

Sounds like a lot of money missed or a once in a lifetime opportunity for someone who wants to really cash in  :mellow:

There are some 48 coasters from KHE kicking around ... I found some online the other day.
Mostly the Geisha, rather than the Geisha light thought.

Agreed, I've got both and i'd say the Clutch edges the Z Coaster on bang for buck and smoothness, will the Z Coaster is lighter and has better engagement when cruising around..both are way better than any previous Freecoaster I've owned.
