i prefer a freecoaster because it allows you to do so much more things, but u need to get one with adjustable slack in the axle that uses an allen wrench or it will take ofrever to adjust the slack

Eh, it dosen't take that long. I prefer freecoasters myself for both street and flat.  The trick is to add a couple small washers on the clutch stop (the part it hits to make it engage) so the the clutch mechanism dosen't have to travel as far on the axle. I'm sure you know this but I figure it would be helpful for sweetwater.

i've rode both

and it depends on ur level

wat r u using it for

and do u have another back up wheel or bike

they are great for fakies but suck for jumping trails

and sometimes pedailing backwards looks smoother

plus they are pretty hard to get used to and keep balance when starting

it depends on personel preference and wat ur looking to get out of it
