Nuno’s bike check overspill
When not breaking collarbones, Nuno‘s been tearing up the trails lately on a Sunday Model D. Jim Cielencki put up his bike check the other day over at Sunday Bikes and there were a handful of extra photos. Instead of letting them collect gigadust in my harddrive, we decided to do an overspill. In case you didn’t know, silver’s the new black and it’s bringing sexy back. The previous sentence may or may not be deleted with time.

Random assortment of goodies on our Twitpic.
Aside from constantly pushing and progressing the design and development of Odyssey products, Chris Cotsonas also does a terrific job of keeping our Twitter page up to date. You may already be familiar with our Flickr Stream and Flickr Group but what you may not know about, unless you’re already following us, is our Twitpic. It doesn’t get updated every nanosecond but the stuff that’s on there is enough to freeze time and sometimes even take you back a couple decades.

Hoang Tran and Gary Young split section from the Give D!VD
The last one’s a little dated but I saw it on the front page of BNQT’s BMX section and got pumped on watching it for a second time. Sweet tabes and feeble to wallies.

G-Sport Taper Hex Nipples!
Available Now! Each pack comes with 50 Taper Hex Nipples and a complimentary nipple key.
Aluminum nipples have been tried in the past as a way to save crucial “rotating weight” from bicycle wheels, but while the aluminum can be stronger than traditional brass nipples in pure-tension, they are also much softer, and it is all too easy to round them off with an ordinary spoke key. The Taper-Hex nipples use a tapering hexagonal shape to increase the thickness of the metal around the spoke, and the tapering shape also allows the key to slide down easily onto the nipple while also eliminating slop in the interface between parts. The result is a “perfect” connection that prevents deformation of the spoke nipple. The hexagonal head (rather than square) also helps to simplify wheel-building too. The key is designed to rotate in the tight spaces of a BMX wheel and it’s small enough to keep on your key-chain. 36 aluminum nipples weigh 0.6 ounces (16.5g) verses 1.3 ounces (36g) for normal short brass nipples.
» Proprietary taper nipple and key interface simplifies wheel building and maintenance.
» 7075-T6 aluminum.
» Black, Gold, Silver and Red various anodized.
