So I am running the azonic outlaw hubs on my dj bike, and they are basically brand new. -5 months. Well today I got a little problem. The rear hub is acting like a free coaster. That'd be all well and good but, between sets I'll go to pedal and it will engage way late. Any advice on this?

sounds like you have some sticky pawls or springs... I'd take her apart and clean the grit and re-pack it with grease...
I haven't had this problem yet on my Outlaws, but I have heard of others having problems with the rear hub... maybe someone else will chime in with more in-depth experience on'em...

the pawls are stripped/stuck. they arent popping out to catch the teeth. take it apart and see what u can do

Every time I hear about how great Outlaws are, I think about these kinds of problems I have heard about them.

All Good! I took the hub body off, and found that it had a thicker oil around the paws, hence the paws were sticking in. I just degreased the **** out of it and applied some thinner oil, working like new.

I've been running a set for over two years without incident.

Yeah this is the first problem I've had, and its super minor. And now that they are basically brand new again, I love em. Light and strong and a loud hub. my likes.

There will always be one person who had a bad experience with a product or it just didn't work out. No matter how good the company is. Like saying "XYZ forks suck. It crapped out in one day".

ZZYZX forks did suck.
