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

Cult – Crew Freecoaster Hub

2 Comments

Cult have released their new Crew Freecoaster hub…

A few weeks ago Cult released a photo of their new Crew Freecoaster hub that featured a unique looking hub shell that lead us to believe they had been doing some research and development of a new freecoaster system. There was pretty limited details at that point, and we’ve been curious what is going on inside that hub since.

Today we spotted the Crew Freecoaster Hub on the Cult website with a better look at the hub, but still pretty limited details…

“All new design… Black CREW FC hub…

Comes with non drive side Hubguard…

LHD or RHD…”

So, we decided to search around a little more and it looks like this one is just starting to hit shops. The guys at Kunstform in Germany have the hub listed on their website with these details…

“The Cult “Crew” Freecoaster is a stable street freecoaster and was developed and tested together with the the Cult-team. The recent version of the reliable functioning Cult “Crew” Freecoaster is now available as a male version and have a heat treated CrMo 14mm hollow axle and large bearings .
Facts Cult “Crew” Freecoaster

Material:
Shell: 6061-T6 aluminum, 36H
Axle: 14mm Male, hollow, CrMo, heat treated, with 6mm allen key insert
Cones: CrMo, with threat
Nuts: CrMo, for 17mm wrench or nut
Driver: 9T, LHD
Cone: CrMo
Bearing: Sealed bearings
Extras: Variable adjustable gap by adding or removing spacer rings, incl. 1x Non Driver Side Nylon Hubguard”

What we do know is the hub utilizes a freecoaster design that is different than their Match Freecoaster (which is no longer listed on the Cult website), it comes in black for the only color, right and left side drive, and it even comes with a non-drive side nylon hub guard. It also sounds like it uses spacers to adjust the slack like the Match hub, and most other freecoaster hubs.

UPDATE: We got word from Neal at Cult about what’s going on inside the hub along with a photo of the driver itself…
“We removed the needle bearing in the driver, and the taper roller bearing in the hub shell to keep the price down. We also replaced the old ball spring system with a more durable heavy duty spring and o-ring design.”

What really surprised us is the price. The hub is available for $149.99, which is more affordable than most of the other freecoasters available. You can pick this hub up through BMX shops and mail-orders that carry Cult worldwide starting now.
