Éclat ‘Blind Hub’ Promo Feat. Shane Weston from WeMakeThings on Vimeo.
The long awaited, highly anticipated, almost eliminated Shane Weston signature Blind hub from Eclat is finally here… This hub, almost a holy grail of sorts, has been in the works for a number of years now and has seen a lot of ups and downs, countless design changes and hours on top of hours of testing to ensure it was done right, is finally available. This hub is capable of converting from left and right side drive along with from a freecoaster to a cassette, essentially making it 4 hubs in one. Check out Shane Weston putting it through its paces, stacking some incredible clips along the way. You can find out more about the hub right here.
“To travel backwards on a BMX without pedaling is nothing new, it’s something that was active very early on in the boom of BMX street riding. The potential of riding with a free coaster though has evolved drastically with time and now we’re at a pretty exciting point where going backwards seems almost like going forwards.
Shane Weston was always influenced by riders before him that forged the way for free coasting and has been on the free coaster game for some time now, mixing complex hop variations with jump box tricks to create this original and mind blowing style, a true pleasure to watch. After a long time in testing and development we are happy to announce the Shane Weston Signature Free Coaster hub from Éclat ‘The Blind’. Unlike other free coasters out there this one is designed for the modern street rider that can be flipped from RSD to LSD and even switched back to a coaster. It’s pretty much the only hub you’ll ever need.”
