Hello, was thinking of getting a new wheel. Right now i have a Ezra Freecoaster laced to a shitty rim and I am leaning towards getting a Demolition Rotator v2 wheel. Should I buy the new wheel? or keep the Ezra freecoaster and just buy the Demolition Zero rims?

Is your coaster shot?
I would replace what you need to. If you are comfortable lacing, and realize you might need new spokes, then go for rims. If you have a junk back wheel, replace the wheel.

You could probably sell your old wheel for the difference of just getting a whole new wheel. But it's up to you. If you would rather have a KHE style coaster, go for it. If you like the Ezra design, don't get rid of it.

I think I'm going to keep the Ezra, cause I just realize I only switch to freecoaster when I'm riding flatland anything else and I switch back to Cassette. What are your thoughts on the Demo Zero Rim. Is it bang for the buck? or are there better rims in the same price range?

Can someone help me with choosing some parts for my custom build. I need something that is cheap but bang for the buck. I need:
Rims
Fat Seat
Stem
Pedals
And I am leaning towards Demolition parts but are they worth it?

All I'm going to say is that for street, the engagement on a khe coaster is so much less mushy than the Ezra style in my experience
