Steerer Tube Threading/Compression Bolt Size and Fork Failure
skateparkrider:
I can say whole heartedly that Terre is the coolest Canadian I know. So his opinion on Canadian parts weigh heavier with me than that of mere mortal Canadians.
OG Ruben stem. Hell yeah.

So the stampy put out x to compromise whatever fork, there should be a fucking trade in. Had these forks for 1/2x get a rebate or 3x get 1/2 rebate.
My forks seem solid, but they've been there for 4.5 years of weekend warrioring. It's time to replace them as: theoretical x < experimental x. When Lx=Ex death seems next.

It's funny to me that people actually buy into Stampy. How much do you think Odyssey paid to have a sticker slapped on someone's machine in a factory that makes every other brands forks? Notice how you never see the face of the person? It's so you don't see the tiny little Asian factory worker. Makes me laugh that people assume Odyssey is made in the USA. That's almost disrespectful as isnt G from the UK?
KillSeth:
Is there ever a claim that Odyssey is a Made in the USA company?
I feel like if anyone truly believes that than it's their own fault for being a moron.

I agree with your first sentence. The rest doesnt make any sense though. Who really thinks Odyssey stuff is made in the US? Also, according to a post from G somewhere else on the forum, the guy setting up the forks in the machine is an American white dude...
I just take it with a grain of salt, as anyone can make a video of some forks on a press, throw a bar graph over it and say "ours win". Its not that I dont believe in Odyssey forks, but the source of the video is a little biased. This kind of stuff needs to be tested independently for it to really matter. Whatever.
