Murray Loubser:
SIDE WALLS

Murray Loubser is a versatile rider who can destroy anything put in front of him. However, for this project he took a specific approach and focused in on the various “side walls” (AKA wall-ledges/wedges) around Cape Town and surrounding areas. Here’s what Murray had to say about the project:

The concept of Side walls came about while out on a session with Jason Prins. We were out cruising through the City of Cape Town and happened to ride two side wall spots in succession. Jason then had the idea that we could probably film an entire video just riding these sidewalls, and so the idea was born. It seemed like a fun concept so we started chipping away at getting clips and finding spots. We would drive and pedal around searching for these things all over CPT. Going down so many alleyways and roads in search. I found it funny how many sidewalls were sitting right under our noses, we just had never seen them as a spot before. It proved quite challenging to try do different tricks on the same type of spot. In the end it came down to finding unique sidewalls to get something a bit different for the video. At the same time I found filming just sidewalls quite freeing in a way, it was like I had less to choose from which forced me to use the spots we found. I really enjoyed getting as creative as I could with the spots. All in all I had a real blast filming this project, and Jason Prins absolutely smashed it behind the lens with his unique style and way of capturing my riding and the city’s environment. I hope you enjoy” – Murray

AVAILABLE NOW:
Clutch Pro Freecoaster Hub

Introducing the CLUTCH PRO freecoaster hub. Yes, this is the hub that Matt Nordstrom, Dennis Enarson, Broc Raiford, Johnny Raekes and more have been riding for some time.

The evolution of our proven Clutch freecoaster hub continues. The Clutch Pro comes built with an all-new bearing equipped drag mechanism for smooth backpedaling and fast crankflips.

Based on direct feedback from Odyssey team riders, the Clutch Pro also features all-new plastic guard designs. The drive side guard provides maximum coverage to the chain and spokes while eliminating the need to spread the frame’s dropouts during installation, which can be detrimental to the frame’s integrity.

On the hub’s non-drive side, the guard makes use of a new shape for improved spoke coverage and durability. To adjust the hub’s slack, a new tool-free external button engages with an internally threaded adjuster, then simply rotating the wheel forward or backward increases or decreases the slack as needed.

The Clutch Pro also comes with a grease port so the hub can be lubricated without disassembly.

Features

  • Ultra-smooth crankflip friendly drag mechanism
  • Unique drive side plastic guard design eliminates dropout spreading
  • Redesigned non-drive side plastic guard
  • Tool-free slack adjustment
  • Grease port simplifies lubrication
  • Proven, ultra-durable bearing arrangement
  • US Patent 9,469,157
