Dan Foley – Cassette VS Freecoaster

April 4, 2017

The battle between Cassette Hubs and Freecoaster Hubs continues!

Dan Foley has released a new video and he has decided to sit down and talk about the Cassette VS Freecoaster battle. Dan has ran both styles of hubs, but recently made the switch back to cassettes. In this video, Dan talks about the pros and cons of both hubs, along with some reasoning behind why he has chosen to ride a cassette hub again. There’s also some riding footage Dan included from both types of hubs that he has ran, which is a bonus since they’re real solid clips. Take a peek!

What’s your thoughts on the subject? Let us know in the comments below!

“With the rising popularity of freecoaster hubs, it’s become harder than ever to decide what kind of hub setup to ride. After dabbling with a coaster for 6 months and switching back to a cassette, I figured it would be a good time to put my 2 cents in and hopefully shed some light on each hub type.”

Game of BIKE – Matthias Dandois VS Benjamin Hudson

April 4, 2017

Ready for your mind to explode?

We have seen plenty of Games of BIKE between street and ramp guys, but we haven’t seen too many between flatland guys. Matthias Dandois and Benjamin Hudson decided to play game and things get pretty damn ridiculous. These guys both lay down some excellent riding and actually push each other with the combos they cooked up, while still having some fun. We’re not even sure how they can remember half the tricks that get put together. If you want to see a game of BIKE that is beyond your typical grinds, flips and spins, then this is definitely for you.

“Matthias Dandois and Benjamin Hudson are going head to head in this (really serious) game of BIKE. Check out the video to see who walk away with the win!”
