oh and they're bent

when are those jc/pc pedals coming out?!

all i can say is ultra gay

when will there be 14mm availible? if ever?

Man, I wish I rode street! But nah, I'm a flatlander. Hey, any chance that you'll be making Flatland Director forks?

well i dont like the look but its not that big of a deal and good design construction wise
i already have a pair or classic race forks tho so ya o there serial number 001 btw

anybody who says these forks are weak is a moron, you need to read the info about them you dumb fucks.

there also not bent it just the way they designed them you read up on that also.

Hollow drop-outs are the future. :thumbup:

8th pic down...what pedals are they?????

I'm guessing those are the Jim C trails pedals. That might be the bike for Interbike.

What's the Story Morning Glory?

I have been waiting for these forks for about a year now an i finally stacked all the possibly necessary cheese to purchase them. with that being said, i am about to drop my FIT Series 2 for auction on ebay so bid on them if you wish to get em'.

lates, HOLLYWOODSTREET

mccoy did this fork design with K2 bikes in the early 90's. anyone recall?

mongoose did it in the 70s

is that a silver/rawish sunday frame? looks like it with tht creased downtube..

gonna be a loooooooot of ugly bikes rolling around soon. as if all the mix-matched limited colorways weren't making bikes bad enough.

No one has ever claimed that using a straight-to-axle fork leg is original.

The K2 and Mongoose stuff is not a revelation. Straight bladed forks can most likely be traced back to the first modern bicycles.

One quick search...Here, the year is 1819:

If you don't like the Director Fork or "colors", then ride a traditonal fork in black and revel in its normality. Nobody is asking you to do otherwise.

There was a time when options in BMX were practically non-existent. At least people have a decent variety of products and colors to choose from in this era.

What bike is that can u post full pictures of it it looks sick

The K2 forks on the DMC bikes weren't straight, they were curved forward slightly to compensate for the rake.

i see zero offset with brake mounts.... will there be minimal..

will there be an update on the "JC/PCs" (or whatever the new plastic ones are called) this week?

I will post this endlessly if I have to:

All you guy's are being dick's to the guy's at Odyssey... I honestly don't see why they put up with you shit heads. They must be makin some scrilla.

Switchboard? What?

i have for sn 007 so i have a license to kill anyone who thinks they have a cooler fork than i!!

Hey chris how come you didn't address plegs in the new post, why are comments disabled aswell.

i know you fucks go swimming in a pool of plegs at night and laugh at the rest of us

looks super kool. definetly a step in the right direction with design with making the mounts part of the tube. sweeet.

Those cranks are definetly chrome...

i like chrome

these forks are the ugliest thing i have ever seen in bmx. parts need to have 2 things going for them. look good and be functional.

i also hope that more research and development has been put into these than the wombolt cranks, which many riders have been saying are breaking on them. even super smooth mike aitken broke a pair of wombolts.

i believe odyssey makes great parts and is the top parts and accessories company in the business hands down right now, but i just wonder if there is another way to accomplish the technical improvements in these forks without making them look so strange.

Thanks for the comments;

- Looks are a personal preference. Your judgement is based on what you're "used to" looking at. There are actually people that like the way the Director Fork looks. Should your opinion be the absolute barometer on what's aesthetically pleasing for everyone? Strictly from an engineering standpoint, they are more "functional" than a traditional fork.

- Mike Aitken broke PRE-PRODUCTION Wombolts that were NOT made with finalized production tooling. "Thinner" arm production Wombolts that have failed almost always fail on the mating arm lug, and in these cases it is almost always down to not following the included instruction sheet. To work around this, a thicker arm was adopted long ago (none of which that I have seen broken or returned for warranty). With that said, and in reinforcement of the usability of the original arms, we have friends and employees that are still using the thinner arms everyday.

Sorry, I've been swamped with work.

I will post again later today with news on the Vandero 2 or Plegs...maybe both, time permitting?

I planned to have yesterday's post as a simple one line sentence, and because of that I turned off the comments. As it grew longer than I expected, I forgot to turn them back on before leaving yesterday.

I'll make sure that they're "on" for the next post.

MY NEXT FORKS DEFO.

awesome, real updates! Will the director forks be available in Zero offset?

hey chris thanks for commenting back and providing some information.

i agree my ideas and opinions should not be the final say in all facets of bmx. i am simply using this comment as a forum to express my opinions.

i am quite sure there are room for both the cutting edge director forks and more traditional designs in bmx and that both will be a great success, which is why odyssey will offer both designs to your customers. i plan on continuing to support odyssey and the great products you make.

Nice Forks just not my style..And if anyone Talks shit about Odyssey...Ill Fight!

What is the difference between 3/8" and 10mm/14mm Axle?

most people here are morons and don't know how to read. in days past, odyssey explained that the director forks are WELDED AT AN ANGLE, NOT BENT, to compensate for the lack of traditional dropouts. this design is way more efficient, lightweight, and looks great. it eliminates the welded-on dropouts and some of the issues that come along with them.

by the way, courtney, the director fork's design is the simplest most functional design anyone can create, and im sure it is lighter than a classic race, and probably even stronger than a classic dirt.

and your last post doesn't make sense.

adrian, your online 'attitude' is both mundane and trite.

trying to prove an argument by simply saying my post does not make sense shows a serious lack of brain power on your part.

if you read my post carefully (which you may have trouble doing because of my second point) you will see that i agree with the fact that odyssey is making cutting edge and technologically advanced parts and that odyssey is hands down the top after market parts and accesseries company period. i merely raised the point that i personally find the forks unattractive and wish that odyssey could achieve the same benefits with a more traditional looking fork.

courtney, i did read your comments and found them to be quite mundane. you want for them to "achieve the same benefits with a more traditional looking fork"? try looking at the classic race and classic dirt forks. the only difference is the welded-on drops.

going back to the issue with the first batch of wombolts, any company is gonna have defective product. it doesnt matter whether they are the best company or a really crappy company. odyssey admitted that they have warrantied a couple of their cranks and actually did something about it by making the crank-arms beefier.

jake, there is no difference between 3/8" and 10mm. theyre the same.

It looks good! I like it....
I just can't find, how much is the offset of the front axe!
Is it 25mm or 35mm?

when these gonna be hittin' uk shores!?
want 'em so bad!

I think the design is Awesome!

but I defenitley wont be getting them ever:

I dont like how the dropouts dont protect the hub from grinds AT ALL. With dirt or race forks you at least have some slight protect from grinds and stalls. I know people can simply by a hub-guard > but for all the weight weenies out there who wants to do that?

(ps: I'm a weight weenie)

I'm an Odyssey Customer for life, from running to OG hazard rims back in the day, to running wombolts today.

Awesome! You cant beat these forks. Do you think we will se the drop out technology on the sunday frames?

hia im going to buy some new forks and i like these and i was wanderin i have a kink gap bike which forks r 1 1/8 atm so i dno if tht has anyfin to do with weatha i need 14mm or 3/8 but any help wud b greatly apreciated thanks

chris will there be any difference between the flatland director forks and the regular director forks? i wana try the flat forks with zero offset on street.

BMX seems to be advancing everyday in everyway. This fork could really revolutionize the way BMX forks are designed. The only possible issue I see is bending forward on hard flat landings like big stair gaps. Forks have been made the same way for so long for a reason, but if these work as good as suggested, it's on. Also, everyone is entitled to an opinion, it's just that some opinions are more meaniful and constructive than others. I'm going to invent an internet opinion filter. Everyone will hate it.

thta would take a bit of getting used to

like a real strang feel havin bent lookin forks
but theae will probably become pretty popular soo.
