Hey just in case people are getting the KHE reverse freecoaster... Make sure you loosen the bearing nuts!!!!!!! Make sure they're loose before you put it on and tighten the hub to your frame... when I say loose, tighten them until it hits the bearing then back them off just a little, then tighten the hub to your bike, after that spin the rim to see if its to tight! ALSO make sure your chain isn't tight because the driver bearings are very prone to breaking!!!!!!!! keep the chain kinda loose! you don't want to kill the bearings trust me...its happend to a lot of people already, because one of my friends killed his hub in a week! so make sure you spin the rim after its on your bike to make sure its spinning freely without any problems! I hope this helps, cuz I hate to see people spend that much money on a hub just to f**k it up so soon!! so make sure you keep an eye on it and make sure everything is loose before you put it on!

just trying to help people out....cuz when i put mine on without doing anything to it it didnt spin very well at all...so I had to loosen everything and its been running so smooth and fast without any problems now, but my friend cant ride until they come out with the replacment drivers cuz his bearings are frozen in there!
