Odyssey Clutch Teardown?
Dr. Steve Brule:
The gap setting thing is neat. What material is it, looks like PTFE? I'm guessing there's a helicoil or something for that grub screw.

What resistance mech did they use?
--- End quote ---
We got them about 10 days ago.
They use a totally different resistance mech and gap adjustment.
A 2 piece keyed washed sits inside the keyed clutch. The inner part has a flat in it to keep it aligned with the axle, the outer part keys into the slots of the clutch. A spring creates the resistance between the 2 parts as outer section spins around the inner section (if that makes any sense)
Here are the 2 parts of of the helical adjustment spacers.

As far as any concerns to these parts being plastic. There really isn't load to these parts.
JFax:
Im not interested in the adjustment ability, but the bearings though! I didnt know they actually did something there, and that it doesnt have lock rings!

Man, these look really good. I got to have a look at a couple on the weekend and they seem really nicely. Some other coasters feel a little funny out of the box (feel fine ridden in, I'm sure) but all of the Odysseys feel super smooth. I think I am going to have to build up my Sunday Ian with one of these and finally give in to small sprockets..
