I'm with Sherb on this one. I know from experience Odyssey has good support, but as he said as there as so many fantastic 48 spline options on the market why would you go with a proprietary system? You buy a standard set of cranks and strip the threads on axle, you can walk into any bmx shop and know they have an axle that'll fit whether it be Salt, Colony, Stolen, Eclat etc. Street and dirt riding is rough on parts and we all have a habit of breaking parts, definitely more feasible to go with something that's replaceable anywhere opposed to having to send off and wait for a specialist part no?

Though like was mentioned, if you have them already throw them on, but if you are looking new I can't seem to find a significant benefit to them.
A person would need to be really stupid to strip the threads on a hardened steel spindle.On the topic of spindles,not all 48 spilne spindles from other companies are created equal either,some are bigger,some are smaller than others.

It’s built into the dropout, so you can’t remove it.

I've come by a set of the original Oddessy Wombolts, FK knows how old,over 10 years? FK knows how many owners and/or cack handed mechs thye've been through. Gave em a good clean an re'grease and They're FINE! totally bombproof! wedges are in top condition which I know the early wombolts had some problems with but, I'm more inclined to think it was derpy mechs that had a problem with them.

I know from my shop days that Oddessy's warranties are fantastic!! name me one other company that gives life time warranties on BMX STREET parts?

I really wish Hazard lite rims came in 26!!

If you don't care about cromo, you can generally get a Shimano zee or a race face Chester with a bottom bracket for under $150 Canadian. I've owned both, they can handle anything you're gonna do as long as you're not bailing on a concrete skatepark all day.
yeah or he just can get some nice Saint cranks that will last like forever.... Smile

you can convert your 135x10 to 142x12, it's what I had to do when switching from Banshee Amp to my Shonky
