Wombolts.
As always, Chris has included some great drawings for instructions and tips on how to get the most out of your Odyssey products. These come with your Wombolts, which are in transit to our distributors (in small quantities for this first batch), so shops can have them any day now. Enjoy.
Posted by Jim B at July 26, 2006 09:40 AMwhat size/side combinations are in this first batch?
Posted by: jason at July 26, 2006 09:57 AMwhat kind of a guarantee are these going to have? if they bend, will i get a whole new pair? i bent two of your 41thermal spindles already.
Posted by: chet at July 26, 2006 10:14 AMthey seme complicated, but cool
Posted by: adam at July 26, 2006 12:55 PMDon't be scared. The installation is incredibly simple, actually.
The arms AND spindle are guaranteed for life against bending and breaking.

Posted by: Chris Cotsonas at July 26, 2006 02:25 PMThe first batch is 175 mm only, with 180 and 165 to follow.
170's are likely to show up at some point also.
Posted by: Chris Cotsonas at July 26, 2006 02:26 PMso what is the weight of those cranks including a mid bb?
Posted by: malsoke at July 26, 2006 03:01 PMand why do you say that the installation is incredibly simple when in the instructions it says THIS CRANKSET SHOULD BE ISTALLED BY A PROFESSIONAL BIYCYCLE MECHANIC
Posted by: fjenlf at July 26, 2006 03:13 PMhow will you accommodate left hand drivetrains?

Posted by: nick at July 26, 2006 07:45 PMLeft hand drive specific cranks will be available.
The pro mechanic suggestion is for your safety and ours.
The weight is 1 lb 13 oz for everything EXCEPT the BB. You'll have to weigh that on your own since it's not included.

Posted by: ben` at July 27, 2006 08:49 AMim seriously thinking about getting a set if these over my hollowbites, they really do look good.
Posted by: Jon at July 27, 2006 11:28 AMHow is anyone supposed to roll on x's? Come on chris. if youre going to draw techincal diagrams, atleast use meaningful representation. X's look like openings, not bearings. Tictactoe that bitch and make that "X" an "O"
Posted by: Matt leach at July 27, 2006 11:54 AMi wonder if these are better than the fly bikes new 2 piece cranks that are coming out. what is the price for these?
Posted by: Atreyu411 at July 27, 2006 12:44 PMsweet cranks i was wondering how mch are these things gona cost
Posted by: soton bmxer at July 27, 2006 02:53 PMIf i broke a set of 41 thermals do it get a new set of wombolts to replace them with ?
Posted by: T-1bmx at July 27, 2006 03:50 PMare any of the first batch going to be lhd?!?!?!?!?
Posted by: cory at July 27, 2006 05:13 PMyeah so who won?
Posted by: jake at July 27, 2006 11:40 PMI wonder how many people sent money to that. Hahah. If it were actually legit it would have been an odyssey email address i.e. "_____@odyssey.com" instead of hotmail.
Posted by: IrkedCitizen at July 28, 2006 07:10 AMim a mechanical drafter and a bike rider im actually working on some assembly intructions right now... but these are superb.. some of the guys at work dont believe in creativity but i give it my all!
Posted by: yovany at July 28, 2006 03:37 PMim still wondering if theres gonna be chrome wombolts
Posted by: richardkelly at July 31, 2006 11:39 AMThe new fly cranks aren't a two-peice design. Each crank arm is separate from the spindle - one side of the spindle is just machined with excess material on one end so you only need one bolt to tighten everything down. The Odyssey Cranks are made up of one crank arm and one crank arm that is permanently attatched to the spindle.
Posted by: Nate Lasovich at August 1, 2006 12:12 PMso when do you think these will be hitting the uk shops?
Posted by: Jamie at August 1, 2006 12:32 PMThese cranks look sweet and i cant wait to get a pair 4 myself
Posted by: Justin at August 3, 2006 09:01 AMPain in the ass cranks you cant run them with these sprockets profile, tree, hoffman dinky, fly, and some of the Fit ultralight sprockets will not fit
Posted by: Adam at August 5, 2006 05:38 PMwere do u get these things i think i bent the spindle on my 41 thermal
