Odyssey Clutch Teardown?
medusa.cascade:
All the videos are up.http://bmxunion.com/reviews/insight-odyssey-clutch-freecoaster/
Seems like a really really good hub.
jtr:
is there a nobel prize for engineering bmx parts?
i mean a regular hub makes sense... freecoasters usually a bit less but this looks really, very well thought through.
the only worry i'd have is about the plastic wearing over time or breaking some of thge finer plastic parts off...
Bunky:
I just watched all the videos and am a very happy person right now as George says some things that I've been saying for years.
I'm super glad he mentioned the part about the tolerance between the drive side shell bearing inside internal bearing race having a loose fit to the drivers outside bearing race and this causing problems.
I can't remember if I posted it on here or on Instagram, but G also corroborates the reason I gave why they want with a 3/8ths female axle on the drive side.
This looks like a super durable hub and I will be getting one, if not more than that. My only real question now is, Will it crankflip?
theboredbmxer:
Two questions. One, does the clutch require being all greased to hell, and if so will it be done at the factory or will it require teardown before use?
Two, is this actually the g-coaster, or do you still have another design on the back burner? Seems like I remember you mentioning lots of fiddly little internal parts and tolerances being hard to achieve for it on a full manufacture run

I think the answer to that question may be contained in this video: http://www.odysseybmx.com/dailyword/2015/07/odsy-vision-matt-nordstrom-for-odyssey/.
