Spev pulled one down I was hoping he would have posted about it already.

I seriously doubt that, unless you think that axial, threaded clutch + sealed bearings = 'KHE internals'

[Spev]

I've written one, but G has said he's got one on the way so I think I'll leave it to the professionals.

Here are some pics though
Max gap setting.


Min gap setting.

I'd say he's right. I'm solidly impressed with the driver/bearing config. The clutch resistance mechanism is dope. A bit disappointed we didn't get LHD in the first Aussie batch but they shouldn't be too far away.

Oh shit, they are out now??

What resistance mech did they use?

[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.

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.

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..

Resist mech is rad
