So i have started riding 20" street in Baltimore MD where i work, i cant afford the gas it would take me to get to the mountain 4 days a week like i have in past summers to hit up my FR mt bike but i can always put in some hours after work on my 20" i picked up the other month. Im riding a Fit AM and have really gotten the bug for street riding, i cant pull any tricks but anything MTB orriented, ledges, tables ect im good for and i can hit some low grinds on ledges, although i dont care for rail slides yet.
I have only been riding for like a month and i have a pretty good feel for the bike, i was wondering if i should buy a freecoaster hub so i can learn to ride that hub to be able to ride backwards and work on 180's and the various tricks involved with that style. I dont have any good or bad habits yet engrained and i was thinking it might be good to learn the freecoaster hub while im still new. I keep remembering 6 seasons of clip pedals on my MTB and then switching to flats riding, that was a horrible season of transition i thought it might be kinda hard to switch over after a while on a regular hub to the freecoaster.
So what does everyone think? and any recomendations on a good set up if people recomend learning it while im still new and neive. Thanks. ..
