An open attempt to improve axial free coasters

A few members on BikeGuide have started discussing how to improve axial coasters. The idea is to come up with a design that can be easily made and will at least improve the issues faced with axial freecoasters. Here are some requirements (see the thread for more details):

• Low cost (i.e. using as many existing components as possible)
• Low(er) weight; sub 20 oz
• Suitable for peg use, not necessarily abuse.
• Better bearing system, especially in the driver
• Easy, and safe maintenance (i.e. no little pieces to damage)

If you have suggestions, or would just like to participate in the process, please post your comments in the BG thread, or here and I will forward to the thread. Once we come up with something suitable, I will post the dimensions, CAD files, and any other info on BMX-U.
