Don t get me wrong, I was the proud owner of a 2006 Langster which got stolen and I ended up being saddled with a plug freestyler by an evans salesman, as I needed to go home. So for me, literally, the plug is the new Langster. Now, beyond style and image, which is what it is and that I don t mind: my Langster was much sharper (I had upgraded components and it was the old, tighter, geometry), and the hubs of the freestyler are a shame, non sealed bearings, which do not withstand any kind of abuse, I already need to change mine.
I am willing to say it was poorly set up and I should have checked, also that I had to upgrade these anyway, but for this price those hubs are just a rip-off.
