FIT Bike Co 18″ Freecoaster Wheelset
FIT 18″ Freecoaster Wheelset
The FIT 18″ Freecoaster wheelset is a complete front and rear wheel set designed for smaller BMX bikes. Built around a sealed freecoaster rear hub and sealed front hub, this wheelset provides reliable performance for riders who want freecoaster functionality on an 18″ setup. Both wheels feature 36-hole FIT rims with sealed bearing hubs for reduced maintenance and consistent performance.
Key Features
- Freecoaster rear hub – allows you to roll backwards without pedaling, enabling fakie riding and backwards motion without constant pedal interference—essential for street and park riding styles
- 9-tooth driver – smaller driver allows lower gear ratios for quicker acceleration and easier pedaling, particularly useful for younger or smaller riders on 18″ bikes
- Sealed bearing hubs – sealed cartridge bearings on both front and rear hubs keep out dirt and moisture, reducing maintenance frequency compared to loose ball bearing designs
- 14mm rear axle – oversized male axle on rear hub provides increased strength and stiffness for pegs and hard landings compared to 3/8″ axles
- 3/8″ front axle – standard front axle size compatible with most 18″ BMX forks and frames designed for smaller riders
- 36-hole rims – higher spoke count increases wheel strength and durability for aggressive riding while distributing impact forces more evenly
Technical Specifications
- Wheel size: 18″
- Front hub: Sealed bearing, 3/8″ axle, 36-hole
- Rear hub: Sealed freecoaster, 14mm male axle, 36-hole
- Driver: 9-tooth, right-hand drive
- Rims: FIT 36-hole
- Rim strips: FIT rim strips included
Compatibility and Ideal Use
This wheelset is designed for 18″ BMX bikes with 3/8″ front dropouts and 14mm rear dropouts—verify your frame and fork dropout sizes before purchasing. The freecoaster hub requires understanding of slack adjustment and maintenance—not ideal for beginners unfamiliar with freecoaster operation. Right-hand drive configuration means the drivetrain runs on the right (chain) side of the bike. Best suited for intermediate to advanced younger riders on 18″ bikes who want freecoaster functionality for street and park riding, fakie tricks, and backwards rolling without pedal rotation.
