Convert ANY Planetary Freecoaster To Cassette!

[@g2d24]

hey, thanks to you and your videos, I was able to adjust my planetary hub so that it no longer slips, now I'm satisfied, keep it up, greetings from Germany❤

[@Championbmxspokane]

Great video as always

[@dim9988]

just get the hybrid freecoaster, works like a freecoaster with slack but without the clutch and turns into a cassette with the springs already provided. Plus it's a lot cheaper than the planetary stuff

[@Brant_Moore]

Sure, if that’s what someone wants. Different strokes for different folks and some folks don’t want to engage/disengage so they like the planetary coaster.

[@dim9988]

yeah of course you are right about that. Something else I'm observing lately is some people getting the planetary as their first freecoaster while the hybrid is a nice in-between that isn't talked enough I feel. And because it's a difficult system to work on without tools and proper lubricants they basically destroy them or don't ride them as much. Also it's the lightest one.

[@JustVictor72]

Quite a revelation indeed. A great use case for those who want to ride their planetary 100% cassette without the drag. 👍🏻

[@kirkwickham3336]

Nice coverage, Brant. I was fooling around with some springs and discovered this a while back but never put the driver back in to test it. At least I know it works now and (hopefully) won't damage anything. I might try it for a week or two to satisfy my curiosity.

[@damienmoore5103]

This is awesome thanks for the info

[@nightriderbmxshop6768]

Nice wheel 🔥

[@413fps]

awesome. I really wonder if the hybrid clutch would also work in the planetary so you have a tri-mode hub, planetary, regular fc and cassette modes. And if you can convert your wtp hybrid into planetary with a planetary clutch (and planetary pawls and springs)

[@butchwagaman3521]

Does it have to be those particular brand springs, or will another brand work?

[@japcarlucky]

Now solve my question 🤣 since you are using parts from my wtp hybrid , can I swap parts from the alienation planetary into my hybrid to see if I like planetary without having to buy a planetary ?

[@joaco3133]

Dont take out the clutch, i did it on my hybrid coaster and the pawls can fall off the driver and roll around inside your hub

[@GolfSux]

Meanwhile, I cant even get my planetary to run like a freecoaster.

[@nightriderbmxshop6768]

Need help? Its easy.

[@Brant_Moore]

The people who invented it replied to help and I have an entire video that should cover just about any problem you’re having

[@GolfSux]

@@Brant_Moore I have tried all the tricks. It still randomly engages. I was going to try the new alienation 1.5 clutch, but it is always sold out. The only way I have got it to work is if I brake clean all the oil out of the hub, but then the o ring creates so much friction (and noise) that it just creates other problems. Everyone told me not to buy a Z coaster, and now I wish I did buy one rather than a planetary, because I never know when it is going to work and when it is going to engage and flip me backwards. I have watched all the videos several times, nothing worked for me.

[@dopelordz]

@@GolfSux same , I have the 1.5 and it still randomly engages on turbine tricks where I go from pegwheelie forwards in a circle then kick tyre to go backwards. (flatland)

[@Brant_Moore]

@dopelordz The planetary system works best when there’s a very deliberate shift from forward momentum to backward momentum. If the wheel isn’t moving very fast forward then the momentum shift may not be enough to work property. It’s not a flawless system and it’s not for everyone. For the right people it is awesome

[@xpndblhero5170]

That's cool and all but I want to know how to make a freewheel into a freecoaster..... 😂

[@aurteekay6339]

You can’t do it with a freewheel but you can turn a coaster brake into a freecoaster which is even cheaper honestly. Look it up stackedbmx has a video on it

[@williambodger551]

Take the pawls out 👍

[@janeblogs324]

That's not a cassette. A cassette has a replaceable sprocket with splines and a lock nut

[@Brant_Moore]

It's a cassette in the BMX world.
