Inside the Freenight Planetary Coaster Hub – Internals Revealed

July 26, 2019

If you’re a product nerd, it has been an exciting time when it comes to hubs. As of late, we got a look at the long awaited Flybikes Magneto Cassette Hub and the new Eclat Seismic Hub that are making some big changes to the way cassette hubs work, now it looks like the Freenight Planetary Coaster Hub that has been in the works for quite some time now is available. This one is unique because it’s basically a freecoaster and a cassette hub in one utilizing a system that’s been used before, but modified to make it work much better. Here is a short video Night Rider BMX Shop put together giving you a look at the driver internals and just how it all works. After you check out the video, you can learn more about the hub over on the Freenight Website where they have photos, specs and details on the hub for you to get a look at.

“The long awaited Planetary Coaster internal parts.
This new and innovative hub allows you to enjoy a Cassette feeling while riding forward, and Freecoaster slack moving backwards.

Hi, and welcome to the inside of the freenight hub.
The freenight hub is a planetary coaster. To understand what it means, I’ll start by explaining the basic idea.

Let’s begin with the driver. Each pawl is kept down by a spring, and the driver engages when the pawls are lifted by a clutch disc. If you know your history, you might have seen this before. That idea was very nice and simple, but it had one major trouble – there was no control over the clutch disc.

This is where the planetary clutch comes to work.On the side that faces the driver, there is a clutch disc with ramps for each pawl. When moving forward, the ramps are always close to the pawls, so we get immediate engagement. Moving backwards, the ramps are always far away from the pawls, so it prevents unwanted engagement. In other words – moving forward you have minimal slack, and moving backwards you have maximum slack, it’s that simple.

There will be more videos explaining the inside of the clutch itself, and also tutorials for hub assembly, all coming soon.

United – “Sleepy 32”

July 25, 2019

The United crew recently spent a rainy day cruising at the M32 park over in the U.K! Here is a fresh edit from the riding that went down. No shortage of grinds and lines cooked up for this one. Take a look!

““A few of the United boys stayed in Bristol UK for a week after NASS. We got pretty lucky with the weather, apart from one day of straight rain, so instead of sitting in going sight seeing we decided tho hit the M32 spot, hand made by the Bristol skaters under a motorway – the perfect escape from the rain. We had the idea to maybe get a couple of clips on the VX to make a little edit and it soon escalated into everyone doing mind blowing lines. So here it is, one day at the M32 spot with Ben Gordon, Kris Bunnage, Harry Mills-Wakley , Fernando Laczko and Miki Fleck. Enjoy!“” – Emerson Morgan

Motion Trails Session In Bremen

July 25, 2019

There’s just not enough trails footage popping up these days. Luckily, Freedom BMX caught a session at the Motion Trails over in Germany and ended up putting together this short but sweet video to enjoy. If you’re looking for some dirt in your life, you’ll definitely want to hit play on this one. The Motion Trails look like a ton of fun to ride.

“The Motion Trails in Bremen have been around for several years, but in the recent past, it has unfortunately become somewhat quiet around the spot. Luckily, that has since changed again, as the hilly landscape in the AWO Funpark Kattenturm is currently experiencing something of its second spring.

This is not least due to Michael Hanfler, who relocated his center of life to the beautiful Hanseatic city two years ago and began to breathe new life into the Motion Trails, which for some years had been more or less vacant. On his Instagram account (@michaelhanfler) you can watch him and his two comrades Lennart Preuß and Gabriel Goldsack stamping new hills and features almost daily in wind and weather. Accordingly, the trails since our visit, which took place in the spring between the German Open and the “Live Your Backyard Dream” -Contest in Oldenburg and in which Paul Thölen was also a bit thrust.

All frequent flyers are heartily encouraged to stop by at the Motion Trails Jam in Bremen next weekend to test the latest creations of one of Germany’s most diligent Buddies!

Further information about the Motion Trails Jam in the AWO Funpark Bremen-Kattenturm can be found in our event calendar: https://freedombmx.de/veranstaltungstipps/motiontrails-jam-2019.html
