Socket Drive™ System

Watch as Jim Bauer walks you through the installation process for our Socket Drive™ Thunderbolt cranks and corresponding sprocket.

For those who might be unfamiliar… In a nutshell, the Socket Drive™ system is a 9 sided interface which eliminates the need for a sprocket bolt. The sprocket itself is machined so there is no need for a sprocket insert of any kind. The two work great together. In addition to OUR OWN sprocket offerings, other BMX brands have released Socket Drive™ compatible sprockets as well.

Odyssey Convertible Seat Post

The convertible post is compatible with all Pivotal style seats and includes hardware for mounting railed seats. The removable post guts can also be used to install railed seats on integrated Pivotal frames.

Antigram front hub with guards on both sides (coming soon)

The “aero” style G-Sport Birdcage Rims is one of the lightest rims available, yet it’s strong enough to be used front and back.

Odyssey Thunderbolt cranks, 175mm, LHD

The Thunderbolt cranks are available in LHD or RHD versions in 175mm or 180mm lengths. These cranks have gone through rigorous testing and are now available the long awaited Socket Drive version.

Odyssey Million Dollar Sprocket, 25t

Our Million Dollar Sprocket is your chain’s best friend. Not only that, if you rotate it regularly, this sprocket could easily be one of the last ones you’ll ever buy.

Odyssey Twisted PC Pedals

The benchmark for plastic pedals.

Odyssey Antigram Hub:

Our Antigram Hub is built with a 36-hole, 2014-T6 aluminum shell. It comes with 14mm axles but you can run 3/8″ inbound axles too (just like Lloyd). The 9-T Driver is left or right hand drive compatible.

Lloyd was hanging around in Austin for a bit and we caught up with him to get some dialed shots of his bike and even shot a stunt of two. Click around to get the scoop!

Socket Drive Thunderbolts & Killington Sprocket

Our Socket Drive interface system has been in use on our Flatware cranks since their inception, and it was only a matter of time before the system was adapted into our Thunderbolt cranks. The time has come.

In a nutshell, the Socket Drive™ system is a 9 sided interface which eliminates the need for a sprocket bolt. The sprocket itself is machined so there is no need for a sprocket insert of any kind. The two work great together. The interface is solid and reliable, so we are now offer the Killington sprocket to match.

  • 175mm only
  • RHD only
  • Black only

Killington sprocket with Socket Drive™

Video Bike Check

We shot this video a couple weeks after our Texas Toast Jam. JF hopped in the van with us on the way back to California and ended up spending quite a bit of time out here. If you’re ever driving down PCH near Zuma beach, keep your eyes peeled on the parking lots by the coast. You might just catch a heavy flatland sesh going down.

JF’s home in Montreal now and nursing some cracked ribs. Once he heals up though, it’s a guaranteed bet he’ll be hitting the road again. In the mean time, here’s his bike check along with a couple clips. Enjoy :)

Here’s Terry Adams’ old bike! Kinda weird to do a bike check on an old bike, but we have been sitting on these photos for a while. This is the Bike Terry rode in Terry and Aaron, The Sequel.  This was the prototype stuff that we didn’t want to show until it was out, complete with an updated look of The Waltz frame and his new signature Hobby Bar. You can’t get this bike in Purple, but like Terry’s New bike (Bike check coming soon) it is all available in Blacker than Black. Click around the flipbook to check it out!

Here’s another video from this year’s interbike. This time, Ride BMX visits the Full Factory booth to check out our Flatware lineup. In this, you’ll get a sneak peek of The Waltz frame, a Flatware version of the Vandero 2 and a new color way!
