  odyssey i think its your time to step up and design the strongest/lightest chain that will ever be put on a bike.

• kieran ( January 1st, 2009 at 10:23 am ):
  
  

  thank gawd!!! and yeh make chains:)

• keith ( January 1st, 2009 at 12:30 pm ):
  
  

  Do the hubs still come out in red or was that limited?

  Oh and the clear brake pads are out and are on the strictly bmx site in Australia.

  And does this mean that all the drivers will eventually have needle bearings or just the 9t?

  Was that blurriness/bokeh in some of the photos photoshop?

  if not, what camera/lense?

• bikedog ( January 1st, 2009 at 7:45 pm ):
  
  

  none of the drivers will eventually have needle bearings. george came up with the idea after seeing the current 9 and 8 tooth drivers fail, realising that it would be much better than the tiny cartridge bearings that were barely there, or the bushing-only design that profile has. the cartridge bearings on the 10 and 11 tooth are bigger and quite stronger than the cartridge bearing previously used for the 9 tooth made by other companies. and yes all hazard cassette models accept the same driver, regardless of the shell’s detail.

  odyssey has never made a chain, probably won’t either. There hasn’t been anything innovative done because everything has been done in the chain category. now the materials just need to be improved. they used to make headsets, but that one’s covered well too.

  the red hubs were supposedly custom for hawk and they never said if they were limited or not.

  The V2 came in red as a stock option.

  Andi, no photoshop. 1.8 50mm on a Nikon (it ends up being 75mm with the crop factor).

  bike dog you must have some retardation up in your ass. those red hubs have been out for a long time. im glad you can speak on behalf of ody. you butt fucker.

  hey guys i would like to request the same tech in 8t drivers, coud it be posible??

• Zack ( January 3rd, 2009 at 6:04 pm ):
  
  

  If you had a regular hub on a bike that was like, say, a 14 tooth, could you just tak that out and put one of these in?

• Paul ( January 3rd, 2009 at 10:30 pm ):
  
  

  I wonder how much this will cost, Ahwell, I need one anyway.

• bikedog ( January 3rd, 2009 at 11:51 pm ):
  
  

  just helping people with information. obviously the odsy guys can’t answer every small question so when i know something, dosen’t hurt to comment, that’s the point.

  Burt Reynolds, you wish.

• Nathan ( January 4th, 2009 at 11:17 am ):
  
  

  You guys should start using black nipples in your complete wheels, it looks so much better, i understand it may not be as cost effective for you though. Thanks

• Papi Dan ( January 4th, 2009 at 3:09 pm ):
  
  

  Ok I got a question about 9t drivers getting screwed.How do they mess up the bearings and eat away chains?I’m asking because I’ve been running the 9t driver since 2005,and even though I ride practically every day i haven’t had any mishaps with anything related to what almost everyone say about 9t drivers blowing u (I grind on both sides).I’ve had my issues with the 9t driver on my freecoaster hub but it’s all done with.

• Billy ( January 4th, 2009 at 4:33 pm ):

• Tyler ( January 6th, 2009 at 8:30 am ):
