Well when i first built my bike up i had a taska laced to a hoffman rim.But i had to get rid of it due to the problems i hadwith it..read my other review about the taska.
So i bought a new wheel...a nankai freecoaseter laced to hazard light.
First of the nankai can be purchased at www.customriders.com or www.flatlandfuel.com and many more places.The only thing that is better about the taska then this nankai is the weight.But that problem can be solved by simply buying a 1pc driver from flatlanfuel.com(which i plan to do soonish).
When i first got my wheel i was very happy with it,looks great and rolled so smoothly.But then i started gettign a few problems with it so it needed adjusting,i had never done this before so i found it quite hard and to make it worse it didnt have a nanakai cone wrecnh(i recomend you buy one for the nankai).After sometime i got it sorted.Ever sience i have loved it,never needed to adjust it since the last time i put it on what was ages ago,rolls great and its so smooth.It catchs very well,sometimes it doesnt but only 1 outta 30 or so.This will be the last freecoaster i ever use and when the one i have now dies i will get a new one.If you adjust it well enough there is little slack.I got the nankai without 1pc driver so it has the clip on cog..same as what my taska had which i has SO many problems with but on my nanakai i have NEVER had a problem,the only reason i am changing to a 1pc driver its little and i can have a 11t cog.The freecoaster as a whole is real strong,i give it a fair beating and its still holding up fine.I recomend this hub to everyone looking to buy a freecoaster.10 outta 9(could be lighter other then that it would get a 10).
The hub comes in many colours and many different size cogs.The parts of the freecoaster are all nearlly replaceable and you can buy the replacement parts from flatlandfuel.
Hope this helped others who are in teh market for a freecoaster
