Odyssey has 48 spline cranks and there's a new GSPort hub.
What year is it guys?
-
Pretty sure it's the year where not including a link is still poor form.

BMX has become incredibly boring.
-
Fiction--honest question--does this shit appeal to core riders? It looks like stuff I'd find at Wal-Mart.
-
I always thought BMX would end up like skateboarding, you choose your size and then choose which colourway you want. The brand is more of a fashion statement than anything else.
Not to say there's not people innovating, but nowhere near as much as there used to be.

Rings are way too scary to use, ever.

Song is applicable to your concerns.

Everything has just died down now in terms of innovation. So stale...
Fly used to come through with some nice prototype stuff though, not anymore.

Hope odysseys 48t crank is better than the old one. I hated mine.
Im also a bit confused to the the hub range from odyssey/gsport. Vandero, Anti-gram and Rolloway? What are the differences and why so many?

You check out Eclat lately? 9 different hub options, plus guards. Granted, some of the hubs have interchangeable guards, but WeMakeThings makes too many goddamn things.

I don't understand the 48 spline Odyssey cranks, or the new Twisted pedals, unless it's to hit a price point.
Thunderbolts and Grandstands are too nice to consider anything else.

Not so much for the aftermarket sales, most likely these are made for OEM spec. Sunday - Everything is twisted PC pedals. Crankset - You might find a splined crankset on a high-mid range model as opposed to a Sunday spec'd crank for a bit of added flavor. That and it gives a lower price point crank for people who would otherwise not be able to fork out the money for crank and socket drive sprocket.

First post back since.. 2009???
Whats frostbike? is that what interbike used to be called or did they do away with that?
-
I know right? like coming back to a house you used to live in, nah frostbike and interbike are different events.
Nothng turned my head, although the clutch v2 is going to be the full 14mm female axle coaster, which is interesting, but i need a new Cassette hub and I cant wait much longer G
-
Where'd you hear about the Clutch v2?
-

Pretty sure i saw it on OTXdesigns instagram

A cool update, but I only run non-driveside pegs, so I'm not really sweating it.
-
Is it just me or do the new front hubs from ody/Gsport look overly chunky again? Have we passed the skinny/lightweight hub era and back to big hubs for all the street assassins out there?
48s will be back next.....

I've always ran Vandero and am using the marmoset hubby for like 7 or 8 years or whenever t came out. Gsport is top quality.
-
Yep, there's nothing skimpy about the Marmoset. Between that and my Ratchet, I don't think I'm going to "need" a new wheelset for years to come.
-
I think some of my parts are 11 years old now. Not riding hard enough...
-
Eclat abandoned long standing standards so they could increase handlebar strength in an area that handlebars never fail. Why?
-
For the crazy big sizes of bars these days and all the leverage that they have. Maybe they don't break there but I'd guess that they slip in the stem easier.
BSD have brought out their own version too.
-
Maybe the oddy cranks are because you can use them either way for drive side?
Fuck knows why they're doing d-locks that you can open with a biro tho.

I cbf finding out what you are referring to, but if they've increased clamping area diameter, their thinking might be to reduce torsion fatigue around there. At the cost of it being easier to crush the bars out of round...

Yea thats what they did. Bars always break at the bend up near the grip though. I have never had a pair fail near the stem.

I saw heaps of 4pcs break in the 90's down there (being a HAZ and before post-welding heat treating) and likewise I've not witnessed it personally in the modern 2pc era, but I have seen a couple cases of it in the scene in the last 5 years. Certainly not enough to infer an epidemic, hell not even enough to rule out freak occurrence :0
Good to see you BTW, how goes the bursitis? I ended up getting it in my shoulder but after a few cycles of cortisone injections it came good

Volume Mad Dog bars, Fit Benny L bars and Shadow 13b bars are yhe only bars I have had break at the bottom.. two being overseas made 4 piece bars.. doesn't seem like an issue but whatever.. expensive options for whoever may need it.
