Powdercoated Rims
Chase Hawk's wheels
Aaron Ross's wheels
First color. Pistachio.
I was trying to keep this under wraps for a second, but I guess its too late.
We are doing some limited edition powdercoated rims. The colors will come out one at a time (like the pedals, cables, seats, anything we do that is limilted edition) and are for use on wheels that DON'T USE BRAKE PADS. They are powdercoated, so brakes would wear them prematurely. Chase wanted the purple ones, and Aaron had asked about flourescent yellow rims a while ago.
Now, Chase is brakeless, but Aaron is not. I wanted to see how long the powdercoat will last anyway. First color will be......Pistachio/Mint. They are roughly a month and a half away. Word.

Posted by: Andrew at August 21, 2006 11:38 AMAre they going to be hazard lite rims, midways, or 7k-A's?

Posted by: ERNESTO at August 21, 2006 12:56 PMAWESOME i ride brakeless and these rims are all ive ridden hope to see the mint green powdercoated ill buy those instantly they are tight
Posted by: Josh at August 21, 2006 01:05 PMThey look amazing.
Posted by: McInally at August 21, 2006 01:13 PMAnd by the looks of it, they look like Hazard Lites.
Posted by: McInally at August 21, 2006 01:13 PMHope they come out in a green that matches the new pedals cause i already have those on my list too
Posted by: Josh at August 21, 2006 01:25 PMyep, hazard lites only.
Posted by: Nuno/Odyssey at August 21, 2006 01:26 PMya me and brakeless dont work well i end up airing 6 or 7 feet out of a 8ft quater and casing, fun fun
Posted by: richardkelly at August 21, 2006 02:00 PMare there gonna be different colors than the purple and yellow or just those hope there are more especially green of some sort
Posted by: Josh at August 21, 2006 02:00 PMRims look sweet. Hopefully you guys get a blue one for my front wheel. I kinda like my brakes on my rear.
And i was surprised to get a call from Odyssey just a moment ago. Had to cover my ears though cuz apparently its gonna be a surprise.
Posted by: Anthony at August 21, 2006 02:50 PM5 bucks say the first color is mint green. It was the first color posted. http://www.staff-bmx.com/news_odymint.html
Posted by: Brett at August 21, 2006 03:30 PMBrett awesome hookup thanks i love them
hahaha dang kinnda hard to keep sumthing like this a sercet when all sum people do is sit on the comp
Posted by: ruuben at August 21, 2006 09:21 PMi saw cam hardy with the purple ones about 2-3 weeks ago and now want them so bad
Posted by: tom at August 22, 2006 03:52 AMi love odyssey you guys think of the coolest things.you should have the rims the same as the pedals like how your making metallic lime pedals you should make metallic lime rims and when you going to do a new color do it on both.
Posted by: brian at August 22, 2006 09:09 AMI dont know what Cam Hardy has, but it is not these. He may have painted his himself. I just got these in, and built one pair for Chase, and one for Aaron. Mike has Natural(grey) Hard Anodize. KC has the only gold anodize. I have seafoam/mint. the first color will be Pistachio/Mint. About one shade off mine. One shade better. I will add the pic up top.
Posted by: Jim B at August 22, 2006 09:26 AMDo I see alloy nipples to match the rim?
Posted by: Brett at August 22, 2006 01:53 PMregular chrome nipples. must be reflecting.
Posted by: Jim B at August 22, 2006 04:27 PMSome kelly green rims would be awesome!
Posted by: Taylor at August 22, 2006 06:16 PMI bet if you use salmon color brake pads this would keep wear to a minimum. My red duras still look great after two years.
Posted by: Monk at August 23, 2006 01:51 AMits is green alrite...just the wrong shade....whoever asked for mint green got their whim....personally i think you need kelly green rims (same shade as animal hamilton pedals) and perhaps some spokes to match?? think about it
Posted by: anonymous at August 23, 2006 06:32 AMIf I read correctly somewhere on this site, there was a post in the comments or something that the 2007 race fork will come with brake mounts? Is that true? And if so, when?
