This is the Colony Swarm Planetary x Pintour rear wheel designed for freestyle BMX bikes. With the double-walled rim on the Swarm Planetary x Pintour, Colony has focused on delivering robust yet lightweight wheels, allowing riders to perform tricks and jumps without easily bending the rims. The Planetary hub offers a crisp sound and engages immediately—while not obstructing the wheel during fakie riding. Simultaneously, this hub provides the most cherished features of both cassettes and freecoasters.
Ensure that the axle diameter of 14mm is compatible with your pegs
Hubguards are provided, enabling you to grind confidently without fear of hub damage
The rim is constructed from lightweight yet strong 6061-T6 aluminium
Kacper MatysiakCzęstochowa, PolandVerified Buyer4 of 5It may stop working properly in sub-zero temps; its simple internal design makes it easy to clean; the slack works great—sometimes, when you push the crank while in the air, it can catch the slack during a fakie.Robert L.Bydgoszcz, PolandVerified Buyer5 of 5The wheel occasionally locks up, but otherwise it's a great setup and I recommend it.Dieter LosfeldWevelgem, BelgiumVerified Buyer2 of 5Too much slack... doesn't give the same satisfaction as a cassetteReply from SkateProThanks for your feedback! We understand that the amount of slack is a matter of personal preference. We appreciate you sharing your experience with us. 😊/ SkatePro TeamDominik DominikŚwidnik, PolandVerified Buyer3 of 5Average setup; the wheel isn't centered properly; the spokes are loose; the hub doesn't always engage—you have to take it apart, clean it, and degrease the planetary gearset—and later the rubber seal starts to squeak, so you have to lube it with dry lube. It's a lot of hassle to maintain this one.Reply from SkateProThank you for your review. We’ll share your experience with the manufacturer so they can continue to improve the quality of their products. / The SkatePro TeamAliaksandr ShpileuskiWarszawa, PolandVerified Buyer5 of 5Great wheel—it arrived slightly warped, but I managed to true it up by tightening the spokes.Adam PlutaRzgów, PolandVerified Buyer1 of 5The wheel is busted. When I ride straight, I can't pedal—the drivetrain isn't engaging.Reply from SkateProWe're sorry you're having problems with the product you received. We've contacted you via email to better assist you. // The SkatePro TeamDavid VajďákVizovice, Czech Republic1 of 5After 3 rides, the bike is broken; the freewheel is faulty—it spins forward, and sometimes it engages, but only after about 3 revolutions. I'm very dissatisfied.Reply from SkateProThank you for your feedback. We’re sorry you encountered this issue. We’re glad we were able to resolve it in collaboration with SkatePro, and we hope the product now works as you expect. / The SkatePro TeamKato rausPlatja D'Aro, SpainVerified Buyer5 of 5Perfect! Works perfectly! Planetary system with precise engagement that never fails!
Excellent wheel at an unbeatable price.Daniel O.Wrocław, PolandVerified Buyer1 of 5Not only wheel wasn't 100% straight, but also freecoaster is faulty. It squeeks and sometimes the driver doesn't engage for riding forward. After reporting I got info that I need to disassemble and clean the internals. I wouldn't expect that from a new wheel.Reply from SkateProHi Daniel, thank you for your review. Maintenance needs to be done even after a few usages. If the problem still persists after cleaning the freecoaster, please reach out to us and we will be happy to help you. ✌ / Your SkatePro TeamLucas Antonio De Lima E SilvaBaschi, ItalyVerified Buyer5 of 5Weight of a k7 but much more efficient than a freecoaster
