can anyone confirm that this is the demolition rotator v2 coaster? (and if its any good)

They're all just stock images. The probably got the image from Google before they even had them in stock. If they try to sell you something as something else they're breaking the law which I'm sure they wouldn't do as it would risk their business.
If you need 185mm spokes, 184 or 186 will work

thank you, but wouldn't smaller/bigger spokes put strain on the wheel or cause it to be too loose? :o and yeah one website owned up to it and said they made a mistake, some other website however...

Nah its only 1mm. If it's 1mm too long it just means the spoke will go further into the nipple, still not enough for it to stick out the top. And if it's 1mm too short it won't go quite as far into the nipple, but will go in enough that the thread will still be covered. The vast majority of spoke lengths go up in 2mm increments

I would because of your experience. You messed it up. And if it somehow came that way, you made the mistake of not sending it right back.

You have the v2 coaster dont you dave if im not mistaken? :o if you do how is it? and is it worth the cash? im looking at the complete v2 wheel. I

It is the demolition , I've had the v2 for just over a season it's awsome , getting about time to re grease it for me but it's been solid , I run almost no slack though so I can't give you advice on that (30-9 gearing shrinks the slack) I run barely any and I've noticed it makes me have to ride more dialed, I'd rather have it that way though makes me have to try to nail things cleaner cause it doesn't let me get away with sloppyness or I get chucked off

Pretty sure, I got it seconhand in November, and it has been great since then. The ONLY issue I have had is one of my rails had a little knob sticking out that mangled the side of the rim to the point where I KNOW it will eat that side's brake pad if I run em again. Coaster has been excellent, using a BSD Freecoaster THREAD ON guard without issue-it is very close to the spokes, but doesn't rub on em.

I also have a Primo PC DSG that has been working pretty well, it's a little deformed but does the job for opposite grind trickery.

okay thanks heaps for that man, do you run pegs? i am hard on my pegs and just making sure it will withstand that and sideload pressure from trying to get 180s and full dialed on a coaster haha , that sucks about the rim but most rims wouldnt be 100 percent after that hey. I was just going to get the demolition guard that threads on, i do have a universal guard already but just to make sure im going to get the demo guard incase mine doesn't fit. I cant find the bsd thread on guard anywhere on the sites avalible to me

thanks for the reply man, do you run pegs at all? i want to make sure it will withstand hard peg and street use. Im leaning towards the complete v2 wheel since the wheel i was going to build would be way too much of a hassle :o and dont worry about the slack, demolition sent me a slack chart! 55 degrees is the minimum slack on a 25-9 gearing which is fine for me. i do like responsive engagement but i want enough slack so i can not worry about getting launched off haha. What grease would be good for coasters? i cant find phill wood anywhere so i may have to go to a hardware store and get a lithium grease, i will check if my lbs has grease though. thanks for the reply man!

I was running a metal fbm hub guard my buddy threw on my bike for a few sessions it fit but I don't care for hub guards so I took it off and gave it back to him so one of those should fit

As far as grease goes I just use my mechanic bros automotive grease , the grease you buy at a bike shop is the same stuff in a smaller bottle marked way the fuck up , for the price you get a small tube of grease from a bike shop you can get the same grease in a big can from an automotive store for the same price , vehicles go through much stronger forces then a bike goes through

Yeah if there isnt any good cheap greases at the lbs then i was looking at this one https://www.bunnings.com.au/kincrome-500g-multipurpose-grease_p6100306
but yeah i dont want it to be too thick, i got grease atm but its SO thick and it would make my hub really sluggish. Thats what it done to my bb anyways.

You ship someone a seized hub and defective thread on hub guard , anyone will have issues with it. Fact is , you didn't see it or touch it , so respectfully your word means little . I did not explain my part very well though in that OG thread
