SO i have been looking for fc and this guy is offering me one for 70euro, which may become in 50 (consider that the federal v3 fc is 125 in evanscycles.). It is used, but really lightly, like new conidtion. Do you guys have any review?
I have been researching and i have found about that 3pc axle, what seems to me pretty stupid, would it hold up to normal riding with some grinds?

From what I've heard the axle doesn't hold up well to grinds
Honestly? Who gives a shit. Its the fucking internet. I hate all of you equally.

the 3 piece axle is only OK if you have a Chromo center axle. Beauty of it is that any KHE axle would work. I have a reverse axle in mine.
But I would not grind really at all with that alloy center axle. My buddy went through several of them before giving up.
So I would look into it as a spare wheel, and invest in a replacement chromo axle for it.

Maybe try to find a different FC? The alienation rush v2 should be pretty cheap
Edit: federal would probably be a better choice since it's a European company. Less shipping and all that

KHE is from Germany...also European.
As to a better one, the shell is the main difference from ANYTHING ELSE with KHE internals.
The Geisha had an alloy center axle and studs that weren't great with peg use. Solid axle and it works fine.
