The "what the hell is Odyssey / Gspprt cooking up" thread.

[Boomhauer]

Is their freecoaster running on pixie dust? Wheres the cromoly drive side guard? Is the Simian hub real or something Skomar made up while smoking ice?

Atop that, what has Odyssey not told us about, I'm sure we'll see something nobody knew about pop up at interbike..

I sure hope we see the coaster from them who's patient stopped Profile dead in their tracks with their FC plan.

simian rear is most likely next year.

I too am curious about the hub. I initially threw it off as another "KHE-clone" but if this one actually packs something new, which wouldnt surprise me as G has swung his magic wand towards it.

I would gladly be put corrected for thinking its a "copy".

I'll be hassling the Odyssey / Full Factory guys first thing Wednesday.  George, will you be in attendance?

haha yeah of course that patient could be the g-coaster stuff, which I think we aren't suppose to expect soon?

I'm in the market for cranks--I'd like to see something fresh.

"Gspprt"

I'm posting from a phone, give me a break.

I need to see what we are revealing at Interbike before I put anything too major here, but I can tease some of the differences:-

There are a few standard industrial bearings, bolts from our other hubs etc, but otherwise the ONLY part that is interchangeable with other hubs is the hub shell liner.

There are no 6802 bearings in it.

The lowest rated bearing in it is rated at 6000 Newtons.

The silver ring is not just for show.

Is there a chance that we will ever see an updated version of the old race hub? I've been looking for an affordable set of hubs that don't weight as much as a boat anchor and take 12t or 13t cogs for ages. Profile is pretty much the only option and they are insanely expensive over here.

I'm not holding my breath that we will ever see a nice railed seat from Odyssey but it sure would be nice.

Unlikely sorry.

To save you time asking, we will also not be making:-

Threaded 1" forks.
Rod brakes
Tape decks
Acetylene lamps
Tweed riding hats
or Solid tyres
