Odyssey Clutch Teardown?

[MEAT]

Thats really cool, is there a hole in the hub shell to adjust the slack?

You can adjust the slack by putting an allen key through it but its primary function is as a speed hole.

I can just see some kid backing that grub screw all the way out and losing it, or worse, screwing it all the way into the hub and losing it. Doesn't look like there are any stops on it to prevent that from happening.

I laughed way more than I should have at that piece of wit.

nice, that resistance mech does look pretty cool. even if they do wear out over time, theyll be easier to replace than the normal khe style ones, plus the wear should be way less cos the load is spread all the way around instead of being focused onto two tiny ball bearings

We got all the spare parts, to replace all the plastic pieces it's about $30aud max. Pretty reasonable I'd say.

yeah very cool. now i wanna know whether itd be possible to chuck the internals into a regular yuhub shell, as in an old federal one cos the shell is a 48....

[JFax]

Seeing how the hub seems to have another internal build than a yuhub I would rate the chance of that working as minimal.

How hard do you actually ride that warrents a 48?

Thinking pretty hard about dropping $300 for this and building up an old demo or hazard rim

if the outside diameters of the bearings are the same, and the inside of the shell isnt bored out more for the resistance mechanism, i dont see why i shouldnt. i wouldnt spend any big money on a freecoaster these days anyway, it was more of a case of me just being curious. chances are somewhere down the line someone might be selling a broken one cheap

[JFax]

The bearings might very well fit, not sure about spacing though.

I was thinking more of the clutch and if the contact angle is the same.

Should be up on odysseys page shortly

Cant believe there are people here who don't already follow me on Instagram!!!!

Resistance mechanism is a blend of plastics including PTFE and Kevlar. The beauty of using plastic for this is that we get high precision very easily, and also we get the benefits of "stick-tion" (ie. the dynamic coefficient of friction is lower than the static) so there is less resistance when pedaling but more before you start so the clutch can engage solidly.

I have done a load of videos using the cut-away hub etc. All on the Odyssey site now.

So this is probably going to be the only coaster worth buying?

[dude...]

thats super cool, someone tell me how they crankflip!

I always thought G had a deeper voice.


Actually liked the video got a better idea of the hub
