Odyssey Flatland Forks

We've had a few requests to take a look at Odyssey's new flatland forks and another request to use proper English. So, in order to kill two birds with one stone, peruse these exquisite bicycle stunt forks.

Odyssey has an extensive array of bicycle forks. Each one of these forks features this exquisitely machined upper cap. Spiffing.

With exception of Chad Johnson, exponents of BMX flatland have a propensity towards utilizing their stunt axle extenders. This cutaway facilitates the use of axle extenders whilst maintaining a steep offset.

One feels that removable brake mounts represent the pinnacle of versatility whereas the alternative may be seen as a monsterous carbuncle. Splendid. What what!

Odyssey's plethora of forks will employ the utilization of this integrated washer more and more. A weight saving device that also simplifies the fork. This will shortly be standard issue on Race forks, Freestyle forks, and these aforementioned Flatland forks.

Anyone for tea and stickies? Tally ho!

Kurt Rasmussen bike check

Jim send us these photos of Kurt Rasmussen's Sunday! a while back but we thought we'd wait until the new frames are nearly here to run it.


'Team Shralp' yeah!!!

Odyssey Classic stems are sweet looking either way up


Gland III hub guard from G-Sport. Spokes never had it so good.


Trial mix pedals, Odyssey mid bb, Wombolt cranks, Vermont sprocket, and Path tyre. Innit.

Proper...at last!!!

This is the tried and trusted Magnalite 2 cassette hub. We gone back to anodized colours on this order and we're psyched how they came out.

This is the new polished colourway that is limited to this shipment. The team sprocket has been on Mike Miller, Max Woods, Gav Shortall, Carlo Griggs and Jamie Cameron's bikes for the best part of a year and despite being much lighter than nearly (if not) all other sprockets they've help up perfect...and boy is it pretty!!!

What? Mike Miller's TTL frame now comes in translucent colourways (purple, brown, and black) and features new removable brake mounts and cable guides + art form Aversion's Louis Mikolay and a revised weight saving head tube.

This is how the polished rims came out....hot! Notice the new logos.

These are the revised alloy bar end. They come in all the usual colourways and they are quite a bit smaller than the previous ones - so they wont punish your hands when your grips wear down a little.

Oh......here's the Team sprocket in brown.

These seat clamps have been like hen's teeth in the UK. There is none lighter .

Some product you may have missed

Say hello to the CS2 race fork in Limited Edition white. These have an integrated bearing race and all the race fork features you know and love (or not).

This is Simple's entry into the fork market. Dubbed the Monarchy fork and available in black, white, grey, and silver. We only have a few of these left.

This is the Vandero II wheel - Hazard Light rims, Vandero II hubs and Odyssey's tried and trusted spokes. We have these in chrome and this classic black.

This is Odyssey's V3 cassette wheel with a chrome Hazard Light rim, black V3 cassette hub (with either a 10t driver or cogs), Odyssey spokes, and free rim tape.

Holla at these Odyssey Trail Mix pedals in Limited Edition......failing that just buy some. Alloy looseball only and not here for long.

This Simple sprocket is named the Copenhagen. It comes in white, black, grey, and silver and a bunch of different sizes. Make Neils exceptionaly wealthy and buy 71 of these.

This is Odyssey's Million Dollar Sprocket. It doesn't cost a million dollars but if you kept it for an awful long time it might save you quite a bit in chains.

Wombolts and Fly cranks both come with a 22mm bottom bracket (and Primo come to that) so this mid bb wont be a surprise. Get one of these for you new Ian Schwartz Sunday! frame and you'll be set.

According to the kids on Bikeguide this is the Don Juan of front hubs. We have them in stock with the new 17mm bolts. 36h black only!!

This is the new Fly bikes sprocket with integrated 22m washer. Black, white, and dark red only.

Fly headsets now come in two stack heights (regular -see left and low - see right). The low one means you can run some sweet bars without having them too high. Kind of similar to the idea behind F-it's DLD stem but cheaper.

These Fly grips are in a colour called Dirty Green......them Spanish fellas have a funny idea of colour 'cos these are more like brown.....arguably a nicer brown than the actual brown grips. Whatever they're in two lengths and sold individually and keep your paws on the bars.

This is the Mike Aitken signature Odyssey seat. Ideal for anyone who thinks Pivotals bend too easy, or kids upgrading the massive seat from their new complete, or anyone that wants a lightweight and stylish seat in general. It's black, it's white, it's W and B. Hooo yheea!

Even more Electronical

The UPS man just showed and he came bearing gifts.....no we haven't seen it yet!!!

Electronical Premieres

We should have confimation of specific dates and venues tomorrow but it looks as if the Odyssey Electronial UK premieres will be happening over this coming Bank Holiday weekend. At the time of writing it looks as if the Scottish premiere will be at Unit 23 on Monday, the Northern premiere is being put together by Streetphire, Mode BMX in Derby are doing the Midlands premiere and we (IMG) will be hosting the Southern premiere in the brimming metropolis of Pagham. The DVD will be in shops next week.

Pantera 3

Fly bikes has some pictures of the new Pantera 3 frame up of their website. Fly's flat white and simple graphics are doing it for us.

Like a streak of lightening wizzing from a bow.....

Odyssey keeps the good stuff flowing......


This is the V3 Elementary stem in high-polish. It looks like a part off of some buff 1950's American car. We like that stuff.


The slim-by-four is the natural successor to the 2byfour and (more recently) the 1byfour brake pads. Thankfully those super high walled rims of the late 90's have all but disappeared and these fit rims like Hazard Light just perfect.


Aaron Ross's signature Space bars. 8.125" rise, 12 degrees back sweep, 2 degree upsweep, 1lbs 12.5oz.


Vinnie Sammon bars. 8" rise, 26.5" wide and a little like Triumphs (only with narrow 'box section'). Billy bars friendly and almost as street as a grotty turndown.


This is the LHD version of the V3 cassette hub. A bit prettier than it's predessesor and equally as functional.

New Proper Website

The new Proper website is finally up. There's more content waiting to upload - check that out here.

Ian Schwartz has a pretty cool bike check up on the Sunday site.

New Stuff

It's been all hands to the pumps at IMG this week with big shipments from Odyssey and Fly. I don't know where to start with all the new stuff.....actually start by checking the Odyssey blidget on the this page (or here). We have those Senior 2 seats in, white or black Lumberjack bars, those Slimbyfour brake pads, and the Klyte Frequency G tyres (that Mike Taylor and Jay Forde are running). We also got the Aaron Ross 'Space' bars in black or white, new flatland forks, V3 Elementary stems, V3 cassette hubs and wheels in all combos, m0re A Ross grips, white Trail Mix pedals, all the Odyssey bottom brackets.......The Campillo frames came out awesome - you gotta see these, as did the Luna frame and we finally have re-stocks of the elusive Tierra back in. We have Fly rims back and the new sprocket with integrated washer, the new low rise Fly headset cups, and more Fino seats. Phewww - that's just the start. Did I mention the Sunday! Vinnie (Salmon) bars and G-Sport Plegs!!!

I'll try to get some photos up as soon we've cleared the backlog of orders and the tyres stacked up in the photo booth!!!

Jason Jones

If you are Jason Jones (and you won Jim Bauer's bike in an auction to help Jimmy Levan with his medical bills) can you please give us a bell. Your new bike is just along the South coast and waiting for a new home.

Clear pastic pedals are coming soon but Jason has them right now.

Plegs and Director forks just arrived in this country. Not in this wild pink and green camo though!

Ya Dig?

I was sure the world didn't need another photo of a barspin bunneyhop but Jim Cielencki proves me wrong with this hefty version on the cover of the new Dig magazine. Peep them trail mix!!

New Shipment

The latest shipment of Odyssey stock arrives tomorrow. That includes G-Sport's long awaited Plegs, the Shook Like Totally DVD's, Lumberjack Junior seats, Monolevers, Evo II brakes, Wombolts, sprockets, all the tyres, cassette drivers, and all sorts of essential items.

Taj Mihelich Bike Check

Taj has a bike check over on FAT BMX that is pretty good bill board for all that's hot from Odyssey. Check it out here.

Simple wheel slammers

We got the Simple order in today. These "wheel slammers" really caught my eye as a better alternative to the traditional chain tensioner.

Simply measure the space between your axle and the front of your drop out and fill it with one of these bad boys that slot right into the drop out (see below) .

The picture above has the "wheel slammers" and also the "peg adaptor" which is a washer with a large centre hole that fits over the "wheel slammer" for anyone that wants to run pegs. Dialled.

These come in the following sizes;

1.5 and 2.0mm (for those who wheels are close to being slammed in the dropout)
2.5 and 3.0mm
3.5 and 4.0mm
4.5 and 5.0mm
5.5 and 6.0mm
6.5 and 7.0mm
7.5 and 8.0mm (for those who like their back wheel close to the back of the dropout)
