The Geishas.

KHE is one of the most knowledge companies when it comes to Freecoaster hubs. We were first offering complete bikes with a Freecoaster hub long time ago even the small gear like 32T / 14T came out on the KHE Catweasle bike. Now we come back to the freecoaster business. The Geisha Free uses the simple threaded system. There are four sealed bearings, two under the driver and two big ones inside the alloy body. This makes the function mechanism real strong and precise compared to normal ball bearing coasters. Inside the alloy hollow axle we use a new Spring Ball System pushing heat treated balls to the cone part. This way the cone runs on balls and not on scratching steel spring like other manufacturers use. Important was that the gap is adjustable so you have three pedal space possibilities that can suit your style of riding. The hub comes with a 11T driver. But we are also offering 9T drivers working with a 1/2" x 3/32” chain (Tanga Chain) to save some weight. For that, we recommend using the 20T Ninja CD in combination with the Hindenburg flatland crank. Also, the front hub is made for Flatland. We placed the flanges closer together so there's more space to grab the fork.

What's the matter with this EAS system?
We have been working and testing our new axle system for quiet some time now “Equal Axle System” (EAS). It is a rather simple & hollow oversized axle in which it utilises specially designed ends. The biggest problem generally faced in this area is that after a bolt brakes, the thread inside the axle can cause a problem. This is why we designed and developed our own system. Our KHE designed adapters come with a larger flanges placed behind the dropout so that in any case of the axle breaking, our adapters can be easily replaced.
Also, when clamping the hub on the fork, there is no side power getting on the bearing, it's absorbed by the adaptor flange - so the bearings always glide perfectly and the hub can be wedged really tight.
