Jan 14, 2014 • Bike Checks, News, Team, Videos Sean Sexton now Full Odyssey
I’m pleased to announce that Sean Sexton is now a full-Odyssey rider.
Sean has been on Odyssey flow since 2006 and Odyssey pro since 2010, but we’ve been “sharing” him with our friends at Cinema Wheel Co. Sean is awesome and naturally we want to do more with him, so we decided to step it up and make him full-Odyssey, so now he’s on our wheels, too. Well, if you want to get technical, Odyssey doesn’t make a freecoaster at the moment, so he’s mostly on our wheels. But, even more good news, we’ve been working on a new freecoaster design for the past six months, and Sean will be on a prototype very shortly. More details soon!

158mm Length
Flangeless
Soft & Durable
Ideal for all riding styles
Matching Par Ends included
Sean is a fan of the top load stem, so we worked closely with him to fine tune his own. Sean’s stem is made from 6061 Aluminum, has minimal branding and will come with a 48mm reach. Odyssey pre-load bolts sit flush with stem when mounted correctly. Simple and clean.
Laboratory tested and team proven.
New, custom, seamless, tapered, butted and specially formed leg tube shaping for improved grind and guard clearance.
All-new steerer tube design improves fatigue strength and includes a built-in, integrated, lower headset seat race.
New, optimized, 4mm dropout shape for grind and peg clearance.
Proven 41-Thermal® processed 4130 chromoly
36-hole, 7075-T6 aluminum shell
17mm, 7075-T6 aluminum axle
3/8″ inbound, 4130 chromoly axle bolts
The Hawk tire has a fast, low-profile tread that is grippy, simple, and visually unique.
Laboratory tested and team proven
Updated open-ended spindle cap
New wedge cluster band with greater flexibility
Never-Wobble™ crank arm and spindle interface guarantee
41-Thermal® lifetime replacement warranty against bending, cracking and breaking.
One of the most successful and popular pedals, and for good reason with its extremely simple, lightweight, inexpensive and famously durable plastic-bodied design. Available in a limitless supply of colors. Often duplicated but never replicated.
The Aerospace features an “aero”, or “V-shaped” cross-section, which creates a unique structural design. Made from 6000 series aluminum, it’s both easy to manufacture, incredibly durable and allows us to create a rim that’s strong, light and affordable. Thick inner sidewalls, and a lowered center wall section provide more room when installing or removing tires, and running brakes isn’t an issue.

The Pleg 2 features a completely re-designed 7075 aluminum core and proprietary plastic sleeve. This new design allows for a smaller overall peg diameter and substantially increases stiffness. The Pleg 2 core runs 3/4′s of the length of the sleeve so direct damage to the core’s end can be avoided, simplifying sleeve removal and maintaining socket fit.

Odyssey is excited to welcome Matt Nordstrom to the family. I first met Matt a little over a year ago, and, well, yeah, obviously I was impressed because now I’m adding him to the team. Matt is a smartass little shit for sure, but he’s a good kid, and I’m certain his new teammates at Odyssey are going to be stoked on him. I think you will be too. Be on the lookout for a welcome edit sometime in the not-too-distant future, and in the meantime give him a follow at @matt_nordstrom.
