Federal Freecoaster, 3piece axle

[Deleted member 18757]

Hey, I have a Federal freecoaster at the moment but the bearings keep dying. I was told that if I get a 3piece axle it wont eat them as much. If I just buy a Geisha Aluminium Center Axle and the axle studs, can I get my LBS to install them for me? Or will it not fit at all?

i got a federal free coaster aswel

i pretty sure that it will because
it has KHE internals and the only differance
between the KHE and the federal is the axle and the shell

It will work.
Make sure you replace the driver bearings as well otherwise it'll still run like crap

Ok sweet, will I need to buy new hub shell bearings? I was told today that I might because of the different sized axles.
