About the flipbook above:
As one of the main dudes behind our R&D, you can bet that Ben’s bike is dialed (and blinging gold). A complete parts list can be found in the flipbook above and a couple things to note are the new Four:four bars and the gold rims, spokes, nipples and hubs he’s running are now available.

Awesome!!! B-Dubbs is the man.
sickkk!
will the 9 tooth and ti hardware be available anytime soon for the ratchet?
i cant wait for the gum grips, chase hawk grips, 9t gsport driver, and ti upgrades!!!
why make the biggest hub on earth with an axle designed to save weight and look slim? there should truly be an entirely new hub if you plan to market that thing to pegless dudes.
BEN!!!
go to etnies at night like the rest of us!!!
supersick!
Living the Technicolour Dream…
Ben Ward is a product designer at Odyssey and according to them he’s “one of the main dudes behind our R&D”. If you take a look at his blog you’ll see that he’s not only working his dream job like a maniac, but he also lives and breathes bmx….
B-Dubbs always gettin shit done! And he’s pretty easy on the eyes too!
What’s the deal with the hub guard I know a few dudes at my shop who could use one of those.
no stem check?
we all know it’s the V3-elementary but do i see a titanium bolt, maybe magnesium wedges?
Yes Sir Ben, Looking good, looking good. Thats the best rear wheel in BMX. Nice ride.
Why the hell is he running Ti bolts with pegs? He’s not a small kid like some of us, that chain seems like a bad idea along with the bolts. I’m not really hard on pegs and I’d be sketched out by those bolts.
Also, wouldn’t having shoulders on the center axle for 14mm dropouts make a lot of sense? That way you don’t need adapters…
Ooops, forgot the stem. Added.
Adapters work fine and are easily replaceable if by some fluke I mess them up. I have been running the same ones for over a year, damn, might be 2, and they are still as new as the day I put them in. I have also been running the Titanium G-Bolts for close to a year as well and they are still a straight as the day I put them in.
Like with any part when installed and maintained properly, they hold up and these have taken plenty of abuse. Like John said, I am not a small kid.
9T Ratchet Drivers, soon. Titanium I have no idea about, all of my stuff is pretty much one off custom. Ti is in the plans but still VERY expensive at this time.
9t available soon?
how soon?
cause the following month i surely want a new rear hub!
when are the pedals comin out?
If the 3/8″ Ti bolts hold up that well, what’s the point in the 14mm rear axle? It does seem like the 3/8″ one would hold up for basically everyone.
that rig is straight BANGIN’
Whats up with the front pegs only?? Do you ride flatland?? Nice bike though!
since the halves for the jc pc’s are going to come in different colors, are they going to have translucent halves? and a release date would be awesome.
