it won’t creak because its only seeing force in one rotational direction. also, i don’t know any flatlanders running 160mm cranks doing sprocket bashes. i just doesn’t happen.

I predict some creaky cranks, especially for those that bash and sprocket pivot… unless you don’t mind your bike sounding like shit when you pedal.

Aluminum is too soft–even 7075– to prevent that interface from developing slop.

“you can also create a crown washer much like the current spacer to convert the 9 sides into a 19 mm bore. so you can use other cranks. so it doesn’t polarize the field much like the pivotal posts did”
i thought the spindal was a 22mm? how would you be able to convert anything on this crank to a 19mm? confused. interesting concept for flat though.

Anything stopping me from using these on street?

Anything stopping ANYONE from using these on ‘hard’ street?

If I were to hop whip or truck drive on flat (which is a legitimate flatland trick these days) EVERYDAY on these and somehow wobbled the sprocket crank interface will Odyssey warranty these?

Where’s the dividing line?

ditto:
I like how it’s royalty free: it shows Odyssey really cares about the future of BMX and isn’t just trying to create a gimmick in order to make a quick buck.

and an extra thanx to odyssey for looking out for us the consumers.

royalty free also means they hope others will jump on the idea, and the research behind it wont go to waste

Awesome. Can’t wait for socket drive Vermonts and Twombolt 175s. It’s the way of the future.
