News Product

A little while ago we received samples for a HARD ANODIZE NATURAL colored rim, which turned out to be pretty nice and everyone around here was psyched.

So, needless to say, we will be doing a limited run of these bad boys on Odyssey Hazard Lite rims. This NATURAL finish will be the equivalent of the durable HARD ANODIZE BLACK that we offer on all of our rims. Colored rims will be the new craze, so this is a good way to get in on it.

We should be receiving these HARD ANODIZE NATURAL rims early next month.

Ask your favorite shop or mailorder.

What happens if you take the world’s cutest front hub and anodise it a pretty colour? This….

These Marmosets should be available as a limited edition run sometime around the middle of next month. We call the colours “catamenia-berry” and “steelium-bolloxide”….. Actually no. We just call them Red and Grey, and we suggest you do too….

I am pretty excited because after 12 years the first wheel incorporating a G-Sport hub is finally in shops.

The M7 wheel is a stock front wheel, built to the highest possible standards. Based around the legendary Marmoset 36 hole front hub, into a proven Odyssey 7ka rim with Odyssey’s new top quality spokes.

Now you can get the same wheel that most of the Odyssey team use and love from any bike shop without the wait for a custom wheel build. You can also be sure that thanks to the custom box it will arrive safe and sound and will have used less of the world’s resources to get there.

The new batch of DIGITAL CAMO and KHAKI caps are in. The first batch didnt last long, neither will these. Dont delay.

Go check out www.gsportbmx.com for the new GSPORT website. George posted more info about the rims on there.

A few web savvy kids have spotted mentions of this new wheel and have been emailing us.

Well, we will be receiving the new M7 wheels within 2 weeks or so.

The M7 front wheel consists of:

G-Sport Marmoset hub (9 oz)
Odyssey 7K-A rim (17.0 oz)
Odyssey brand specialty grade spokes (not the normal ones that come with our current wheels)
36 hole only
Chrome or Hard Anodize Black

This wheel combines one of the strongest and lightest front hubs available with the first 7000 series bmx rim ever offered, which is also lightweight and durable, but you guys already know that since these parts are some of our most popular.

The M7 wheel is ideal for racing and street/trails equally, and most of our team and flow guys are on this wheel or have requested one. It is super-light, I’m talking racing light. It is also super-strong. Feel free to use pegs on this wheel.

The M7 will also come to you in a new redesigned box (pictured above). Not a big deal to you (except that it looks cool and has a handle), but George figured out that by eliminating the negative space that normal square boxes use, we can actually fit more wheels on a shipping pallet and stock them in our warehouse more efficiently, and save waste, thus the enviroment.

Contact your favorite shop for the M7 wheel.

OK here we go.
It’s finally time to go public with the new site and you are looking at it.

It’s always going to be an ongoing thing adding content and product information but the basics are here. Feel free to wander round and look at everything. The tech columns have migrated over, and as an opening treat there are three new ones to check out. Just follow the “tech” link above… that’s also where you will find the wheel building guide if you are looking for it…

I also wanted to have some product news for the launch of the new site. So after a false start earlier in the year I am delighted to be able to announce that the new Ribcage rim is finally ready, it has passed final quality control, and will be shipping to US shops before the end of March. Supplies for the UK and Europe should be well on their way too.

They now are available in 48H Chrome. Hard Anodised finish and 36’s are on the next shipment.

The price is a little higher than some other rims but this reflects the special material and finishes. The material used is around 20% stronger than even the 7000 series aluminium used for rims. And the hard anodising gives a black finish that performs nearly as well as chrome. Spoke holes are guaranteed not to pull through no matter what…

Final production weights are 482g (1.06lbs) for hard anodised and 525g (1.15lbs) for chrome.

The packaging is pretty cool too. We managed to find a way to use cardboard instead of plastic, this actually gives more protection to the rim during shipping and is better for the environment too.

With 10t drivers being our number one seller, we have made some requests come true, and will now be offering our cassette hubs with 10t drivers already installed. These are available in 36 or 48 hole, rhd and black.

And as per a few posts down, we have also brought in rear csst wheels with the 10t drivers already on there, so you dont have to do any work. Those are available in 36 or 48 hole and in either CHROME or HARD ANODIZE BLACK.

Both of these items are availble now.
