Leave a Comment

Have you ever wondered what’s inside one of those Profile Racing Z-Coaster hubs?

If you have been thinking about picking up a new freecoaster hub and you’re looking at the the Z-Coaster hub from Profile Racing, but you are curious about what’s inside and makes the hub tick, here’s your answer. This weeks Tech Tip from Profile gives you a look at all of the parts inside the hubs from the proprietary Z-Coaster driver that allows you to run the hub as a freecoaster or a traditional cassette to the 14mm nuts that hold it in place. You can check out all the parts and a full diagram that breaks down each of the parts for your understanding. You can check it all out on the PROFILE RACING WEBSITE HERE.

This hub is fairly complex and there are a number of little parts, but from the reviews we have been hearing, there isn’t a ton of maintenance involved and there’s not much of a reason to be opening up the hub anyway! Pretty interesting!

Anyone run the Z-Coaster hub? How do you like it? Any pros and cons you can tell us about? Let us know in the comments below!

Sneak Peek: Demolition Parts – Blood Splatter Colorway & Rotator V3 Freecoaster

Leave a Comment

Demolition Parts coming through with a double whammy sneak peek giving us a look at their new Blood Splatter colorway and Rotator V3 freecoaster hub…

We’re always excited to see what a brand has coming for new product. The crew over at Demolition just dropped a sneak peek that is a two for one in that department. First off, you will notice the new Blood Splatter color that they will be offering on a few of their parts in the near future. The second is that this is a look at their new RotatoR v3 Freecoaster hub. Comparing the V3 to the V2, it looks like the hub shell was given an updated and slimmed down look with some extra machining and a laser etched logo and a hub guard is now included with the hub. No word on if the internals changed at all, but we would imagine they will still be utilizing the KHE internals like before. Expect this hub and the new color out in February.

“We’ve been fairly hush hush on our new 2018 goods but thought we’d give you a little taste of what’s coming in Feb. This is our new Demolition Blood Splatter colorway on the all new V3 Rotator hub. 2 sneak peeks in one! Stay tuned for more soon…” – Demolition Parts
