I when to a bike shop the guy didn't even know what was a freecoaster =(. help please

DK Opsis 2010.
Answer
The Taska freecoaster that comes with the Opsis is the cheapest freecoaster on the market. Not too reliable and of very average quality. I found this info on a freecoaster review site... http://www.free-coaster.com/html/taska.html
Freecoasters have a 'breaking in' period of about 2-3 weeks, where it will make more noise than it should, usually a 'clunking' noise more than anything. This goes away once it settles in.
Here is an interesting read on the Taska freecoaster, too... http://www.global-flat.net/smf/index.php?topic=24029
I run a Nankai Bamboo freecoaster at the moment, and I find it to be really reliable. It costs about $120 US dollars, but it's well worth the money. CHeck them out on flatlandfuel.com

Answer
The most important matter is that it fits your backside, especially your pelvis. Those two contact points have to be in the right place.
Wider may make you splay out your hips, which would end up being quite painful.
Also, the really cush saddles may feel good when you just sit, but they move around too much when you are pedaling.
Take your bike to a good bike shop. Have them mount a saddle or two and adjust it properly. Take it for a spin around the parking lot. Little adjustments make big differences.
Best of luck.
