RIBCAGE UPDATE
Unfortunately, we have bad news.
For everyone that has been emailing, the first production batch of RIBCAGE rims that just arrived is not on par with the final samples that we received and that people are testing, so we're scrapping them all.
These things happen from time to time and it's obviously frustrating for us, but we're not going to release them until the delivery meets our standards.
Hopefully we will receive more within a month and half's time.
we apologize for the delay.
-Odyssey team

Posted by: cankles at January 13, 2006 11:57 PMReally bummed to hear this. But hopefully that next batch will be much better and work out for you guys.
By the way, do you know if Gary Young was out riding the Pala Pool and Fullpipes over here in northern san diego on thursday?
Posted by: Anthony at January 14, 2006 02:40 AMSo they'll be Ribcage-As?
Posted by: Aleks at January 14, 2006 04:42 AMThis does'nt affect me at all, I am so happy with my Midways! I still can't believe you guys made such a killer rim. So do you think the Ribcage will affect the sale of Odyssey rim's when these Ribcage rims come out?

Posted by: zack at January 18, 2006 04:41 PMim glad you scrapped them instead of selling em like you did the batch of hzard lites that had shitty chrome jobs. Yep mine flaked off after about 2 months and I called and was informed the batch was faulty but got sold anyway, glad you guys are doing things right this time.. keep up the good work
Posted by: me haha at January 18, 2006 09:15 PMat least their not tyres with footprints on 'em
Posted by: bearfeet at January 19, 2006 11:17 AMThat is totally unacceptable in my book. That' s the last time this is going to happen Odyssey otherwise I'm putting my foot in your arse.
Posted by: Alberto at January 19, 2006 03:44 PMum ... mike aitken bike check?
crap!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Posted by: taylor at January 21, 2006 01:16 AMhow about a digital camo fork and bars update.
i got the money burning away at my girl pants pocket, seriously any E.T.A. of when they are going to be for sale.
word on the street is that there is going to be a odyssey/porche race track team....
Posted by: 3MTA3/pokertron at January 24, 2006 08:25 PMwhats happening with the wombolts?
Posted by: cankles at January 25, 2006 02:18 AMDigital Camo- Sorry the supplier is creeping along, but they are going to be ready in 10-14 days. Sorry about the wait. I am pissed about it also.
Wombolts- We are getting a batch of the production run, so if they are good, we give the thumbs up to continue production. So thats good.
Ribcage- Similar to a manufacturing defect like the 7K, but different because the 7K problem was in material, so we couldn't see that. The Ribcages has a visual mistake, so we caught it. They will remain the Ribcage because the first ones you see/ride will be perfect.
Mike Aitken Bike Check requires me/my camera to be in the vacinity of Mikes bike. That means I have to go to Utah, he needs to come to California, or we have to meet in another area. Mike is supposed to come out to California with Matt in the next few weeks. That means You can have 2 bike checks! Please stop asking, i will do it as soon as I can. thank you

Posted by: Jim B at January 25, 2006 06:26 PMHey Jim B and co. As sad as i am about the delay im really glad your keeping such high standards. Expecially from G sport!
Anyway, you must have the patience of a saint putting up with some of the impatient comments on here. So keep up the good work guys and ill buy a rim when there ready.
Cheers AJ
Posted by: A J Porte at January 25, 2006 06:53 PMthanks jim b.
as you can tell i cant wait to get that digi fork and digi bars.
odyssey rules!
I just checked out this rim- it's so bad ass already, but it's great that you guys can pick out the flaws still, and you're not givin us all these shity parts just becuase it's easier... that's earning respect right there- keep it up!
