Colony Swarm Freecoaster BMX Hub - Planetary Coaster Inner Workings

In this video we give you a very detailed insight into the inner workings of the Colony Swarm Freecoaster BMX hub which uses the planetary coaster internals. Any questions feel free to leave in the comments and we'll do our best to answer.
The Colony Swarm Freecoaster Hub is our newest FC hub utilising the ground breaking Planetary coaster internals from the guys at Freenight. It has the weight of a cassette, very minimal slack with an almost instant engagement when pedalling forwards. Yet you have all the good properties of a FC hub when rolling backwards with no engagement or the need to back pedal. These are the best FC hubs available on the planet hands down.
Please Note: If pulling apart the hub, do not add grease or lubricant! These hubs need to be run dry.

RHD & LHD versions.
Has the feel & performance of a cassette hub with all the good properties of a free coaster hub when rolling backwards. It's a hub with best of both words of cassette & free coasters.
Supplied standard with plastic hub guards for both sides.
Male Axle only.

Great video! Also important is to align the clutch's outer "spline" inside the hub shell before inserting the driver.

I have 2 BSD Revolutions and find their performance to be impressive after trialling various free coasters over the past 3 decades that all shared similar technology to one another. I love the new clutch system Planetary came up with and it's great to see Colony have adopted their tech. Love the RRP you guys have set but wish it also came in polished. Keep them cones tight, boys!

I’m building a new 20” which will be my 5th BMX as a 49 year old rider. A planetary has been in my sights for some time. And since Colony did such a good job explaining the hub disassembly…I will order a Colony Swarm and a Colony Wasp front hub for this build. Good job.

Sweet hub, we need a 16 tooth cog ⚙️ to run 44/16 on the older bikes. Would buy it tomorrow if it had a 16 tooth driver.

Hi there, i just bought the colony swarm. Its my first planetary hub, need mor riders videos while doing fakie. Cause sometime its randomly engage. Cheers from indonesia

This stuff come from the furute? I love it.

[@eltiobocho4205]

So sick

[@BigTree412]

We need some team rider clips using the hub

[@SuperMatiz]

Sup guys- do I understood correctly? This o-ring is responsible for clutch mechanism friction? (needed to work, looks like this issue cannot be solved...)

[@mihalespinglae642]

Bought one but mine isn’t working and I tried anything (less chain tension, more tension, disassembly und reassembly). Engages just like a normal freecoaster. Sometimes even earlier. To whom can I talk about it ?

[@rtz549]

What is the factory lubricant? For

[@shareabike-shareasmile]

There's no way to have these running with the noise of a cassette?

[@kar1m706]

Это же как bsd revolution? Или это обычный фрикостер?

[@G-w-o-o-d-d]

Just ordered one, are they quiet like all coasters or have a cassette sound?

[@alekseymorozov3917]

How long do I need spokes to put colony swarm in the rim of GSPORT BIRDCAGE ?

[@pauljames4510]

When is it available in the UK?

[@jvstin4958]

I have a loud squeak / creak when I pedal

[@rud3785]

i have this exact coaster and i get no pedal pressure when going forwards, o-ring looks fine and my cone nuts are tight. anyone got ideas?

[@maxevo7054]

I bought this freecoaster and it creaks very loudly, does anyone have the same problem?

[@lewishughes3914]

Just curious… Any particular reason for no grease? I’ve ran a BSD Revolution since they came out and I’ve slapped loads of grease in mine to keep it quiet and I’ve never had an issue
