Just a little post to keep you updated on the progress of the G-Sport hubs. We just received these samples which seem to look pretty good. Note the G-Sport etched into the collars. These hubs will feature a 7075 shell, angled flanges and steel helicoil thread inserts. Also, despite what you may think, these hubs are on the light side due to the materials and thread in style axle. Production should be under way pretty soon, so we may be seeing these by late July (hopefully).
**these hubs are not available now**

G-Sport G.L.A.N.D.S. should be showing up in better shops and mailorders right about now.

One Bolt Action

Elementary Stem small parts are available on the online store.

So all you riders that decided you no longer want to run a gyro

Here’s another jam going on in Belgium. Check it.

Jim Cielencki’s shop is officially up and running. http://www.sundayskatebmx.com/

…and so is Rich Hirsch’s boutique style shop. http://www.goodsbmx.com/

Both shops will be carrying all the fine Odyssey products you could want, so hit them up.

The first of the G-Sport products will be arriving in a few weeks.
The popular and effective G.L.A.N.D guard will be our first offering of the line.

Those of you who might not be familiar with the G.L.A.N.D., it is a hub guard/spoke protector made from a durable polymer that is guaranteed for life against breaking. The G.L.A.N.D will protect your wheels and smooth your grinds.

The G.L.A.N.D’s will be available by early to mid May in most areas.

Sorry for the lack of updates.

The new RIDE bmx magazine has landed in our hands and there was a cool unexpected photo of flatlander Chase Gouin doing some kind of cross-footed nose wheelie link, while working those special edition 20×1.75 Frequency G tires.

Matt Beringer scored a bike check in this issue, so be sure to check that out.

Gary Young, Danny Hickerson and Mike Aitken also have cool photos in this issue.

Adam Banton was in today building up his new Eastern Reaper frame. The Reaper is his first frame with internal headset and he is psyched. Those things are so easy to set up that i even had to help him out with it. Adam also has the sweet 2-page spread in the above mentioned issue of RIDE bmx.

Thats all for now. Have a good weekend.

If anyone is in Texas on 2/27/05, be sure to swing by the “TFST” contest.

Thanks.

Jim Cielencki was in town visiting for the last couple of days escaping the frigid temperatures of New York. Luckily, His bike thawed off in time for us to do a bike check.
