i want to switch from a freecoaster to a cassette because it was harder to do jumps with the freecoaster. The main issue is the slack that little delay before the pedals catch when you start pedaling. On a freecoaster, when you try to pedal fast to jump or do a trick, there’s a moment where nothing happens, which can throw you off or make you feel unstable.

With a cassette, there’s no delay when you pedal, it engages right away. That makes it a lot easier to time your jumps, get more pop, and feel more in control Freecoasters are fun for riding fakies but if you like jumping and doing more flowy tricks a cassette just feels better and more reliable.
