Planetary BMX Freecoasters EXPLAINED - Simultaneous Cassette & Coaster!

Planetary BMX Freecoasters have taken BMX by storm over the past year with multiple companies making one of their own...But how do they work?!
Alienation has just released the Venus Freecoaster hub which utilizes the Free Night Planetary Clutch assembly to be a freecoaster and a cassette hub at the same time. I helped design this hub and even gave it a name! They are available now at bmx mail orders as well as local bike shops who work with JBI. They will know what that means.
To anyone who is considering picking one up or has bought one of these already, THANK YOU!! I would love to see it on your bike!

SO happy to have my notifications on and actually be awake to catch this! Thank you so much for the breakdown of this awesome hub and it’s inner workings Brant!🙏🏻 Great video!

[@mattaguirre7123]

that and the BsD revolution are simply genius

[@YoannVn]

Freenight guys are the geniuses as they are the guy that mde that system and licence it to all other brands

[@BigTree412]

I love my F25’s front break gang

[@skylarsoper241]

Totally rad hub brant man 😎

[@pauljames1978]

The Ezra freecoaster and the free Night freecoster and Saltplus Trapez free coaster and the BSD revolution free coaster all have similar internals 👍🚲💨

[@erickmendez3009]

I want to know if the clutch can be interchangeable, i have a Ezra and i want to buy the bsd clutch to put it on the ezra an see if it works

[@pauljames1978]

@@erickmendez3009 only way to find out is Try it

[@erickmendez3009]

If its works, its a really realiable freecoaster

[@pauljames1978]

@@erickmendez3009 Let me know if it works I’ll be interested to know

[@bmxriderforlife1234]

Cough. Rob ridge Ezra coaster mods. Cough Cough.

[@kentakeura1617]

Do you know if there is a conversion 14mm to 10mm conversion axel that is compatible with Venus hub? i really would love to have that on my midschool bike :D

[@Brant_Moore]

I've seen people make their own by machining the axle to accept a bolt but there isnt a kit thats available to buy for it

[@nofood1]

This Vs Zcoaster ??? Which is better

[@aurteekay6339]

Can’t wait until more of these come around so the price can go down just slightly. 250$ for a hub is just nonsense when I could easily go get a complete odyssey wheel with hub for the same price brand new. Cant bring myself to spend it on just a hub 😂 they are pretty sweet though

[@Cheesicle_]

Bsd revolution was 120€ on source a while ago, got it and love it.

[@zosterinski]

Hey, Brant! It would be nice if you could make a cideo regarding servicing these types of hubs, since you got some for a while now and maybe it is not advisable to choke those tiny gears with lots of vaseline

[@Brant_Moore]

Yea you definitely don't want to do that but I can probably do that

[@FAHRENHEIT451JL]

Was just on the phone to the boys at bsd Glasgow the other day. Personally I run the clutch v2 and it's a work of art ; Nordstrom is testing the new version now. However, bsd is a head of the freaking game by over a year. In this world that is a huge amount of time. Innovation of masters!!! Thanks for this Brent.

[@ricksworkbench1386]

nifty. huh.

[@eatmysalt291]

How much does it weigh in comparison to your average freecoaster

[@Brant_Moore]

It’s lighter than a clutch style coaster

[@cx4130]

My Venus is 155 grams (5.47 oz) lighter than my Cinema FX freecoaster.

[@eatmysalt291]

Thanks guys. Imma look into one of these to swap out my clutch v2.

[@mikeoliver3254]

I want that freecoster so bad but man it’s expensive.

[@bmxriderforlife1234]

First for once lol

[@Dropddime74]

I have a question do you think you could make a hybrid free coaster into a planetary just by installing the clutch system?

[@AmazingChinaToday]

Is the planetary unit made of steel? It looks delicate, hopefully it's made of steel. Wish they had a 16 tooth cog ⚙️ available.

[@speedmeade1]

💣💥🔥

[@twentytolife4401]

So Brant since you've had its predecessor, the free night hub. Is the Alienation hub internals constructed beefer? If so, how?

[@Brant_Moore]

Yes definitely as they’re plastic now instead of being 3d printed. That being said, the only force put on them is what is needed to lift the pawls so even the 3d printed material was enough to have never failed on me

[@nightriderbmxshop6768]

The early Freenight hubs required a break in period, each hub was different because of the 3D print. There are a few more cool features in the Venus, the idea was to make it "BMXer proof" haha

[@daniilsadovskis]

I think it has similar design as Stress disco hub
