Alienation as you know makes an awesome freecoaster hub called the rush, and they also make some very good rims called Blacksheep rims. So it makes sense that they would offer the combo in a complete wheel as well. This Rear wheel is a free coaster wheel which features the new Rush freecoaster hubs which have hollow 14mm chromoly axles and a 9t 1 piece driver. This hub is top quality. The Blacksheep rim is rim is a triple wall design, pinned joint (not so good) made from 6061 extruded aluminum (good).

This wheel is available in left hand or right hand drive in several, red, blue, and black color variations, and weighs in at 3lbs. A tad heavy for racing, but perfect for dirt or street riding. The Rush V2 freecoaster hub is pretty much top of the line, but the pinned joint in the Blacksheep rim is not quite as strong as a welded joint. With a price of $209 it is still a very good value and will get the job done. If you have any experiences with Alienation rims or hubs, post your comments below.
