Odyssey put up some info about their new flatland specific “sprocket drive” set up. Basically it lets you run your sprocket without a sprocket bolt, much like the Tree sprocket lets you do with Profile cranks, but with the Twombolts. I’m not sure exactly why this is flatland only for the time being but it seems obvious that it will be reccomended for street at some point too.

    They lightened the arms up a bit. I’m sure they are just saving their own asses by recommending that it be used for flat only. It will be interesting to see if they come out with this interface on the regular twombolts in the future.

  • I Like Bikes

    they said “Flatware Rhode Island Sprocket” or something along those lines, I’m trying to figure that out.

  • kyle

    i think the blurred foreground is the sprocket for it.

  • Jack

    I’m willing to bet it will be hard to get the sprocket on and then it will get wobbly. And then G will say the wobble is caused by an installation error.

    Way to display a crank arm with undercut welds. What more could you expect from 4 year old Asian’s laying your rod. On the other hand, you’re only selling this products to preteens. What do they know? Go rail em’ kids! Just dont forget our warranty, flatland! Keep it flat and on land! Yay for exploiting the market of quality production vs. rad colors. Pathetic!!

    What the fuck are you talking about?

  • gay dude

    yo i hear about twombolts snapping too often. i find them to have more purpose being shoved up my ass for the pleasure dildos usually give me.

  • Jesus

    i’ll stick with my profiles, that are for racing

  • AMPM*&

    Damn hate much? I think any fresh idea is a good idea and in reality this isn’t a terrilbe concept, I wouldn;t mind seein odyssey adapt this to street/ park oreintated verison. id look fresh.

  • cru

    its nice to see something new… but i completely understand and agree with “Bob Joblansky” i mean come on every kid and there new and upcoming cousin tat used to ride scooters at my locl park has wom/twobolts cause they look sick and have hella colors… i like alot wat odyssey has to offer but those cranks by far are one of bmx’s biggest failures…. literally every friend of mine that has ever had them BROKE.

  • I wonder

    How many other companies will be supporting this type of spline drive?

  • y

    superfluous use of a fancy word

    Probably will hold up about well enough to ride your bike from your garage to your front yard, take a picture of it on the lawn, ride back inside and post a bikecheck on BMXboard, just like most elementaries/wombolts are currently used.

  • xwizx

    can we get something else on the board besides this fucking bullshit? what a stupid name for cranks too. people, just buy tree and profile, they’re proven.

  • Josh

    watch ross get a pair and all you trend kids will have them

  • fourtwenty

    get primos

  • stupid.

    Heard that!

  • stgj

    the sprocket bolt needs to be erased from the earth. i hope within a year’s time all sprockets will be spline drive.
