Do Oddy Evolvers come with levers?

I'm sick of riding dirt brakeless and after hearing how good Evolvers are I might go down and get some today, but I dont wanna use my stock tektro lever.

No they dont.


Look into the Odyssey Monolevers

They come in three sizes, kind of like ...oh well nevermind.

They don't(as Kenitik said), but you shoudl def look into the Odyssey Mono levers. I personally prefer the small.

Odyssey Linear.

And if you want to dish out $40 something, then look into the Nokon, its supposed to be very nice...

"I prefer the Trigger myself" Haha

Another stupid question, I know they come with two sets of springs, what are they for? How easy are they to install, and mantain?

And I'll be running these on sun ZX-25 rim, what pads should I get?

Springs affect the response. Stiff spring means more resistance at the lever, lighter is the opposite.

Thanks.

Also, they say the set comes with the London Mod, I dont need to use this right? I can just run a single straight cable and a crossover cable right?

And what pads will get me the best modulation on a black rim?

Londom Mods are for Gyros, i beleive.

Yes, you can run a straight cable with your Odyssey brakes...

Ouch, I only had enough for the Evolver, came to $64.

I'm going back later for the lever and cable.

do you like your rims? I have those rims on my bike, and my plan was to upgrade them, but they seem to be holding up really good, so I think im gonna stick with them for a while.

Why wouldn't he? They make well-thought out and tested parts, and they have the best costumer service in the industry.

No, I dont really like my rims that much, I'm upgrading my rear when I get the chance, and will eventually replace the front.

Also, I finally got it all put together and they work great, but the pads really suck so I'm getting a set of koolstops some time this week.

so far my bike is coming together quite well I think.

Frame- 2004 DK General Lee (white).
Cranks- Profile 175mm (not sure about model).
Wheels- Sun ZX-25, going to change the back one soon, it's cracked.
Tires- Back=Primo wall Front=K-Rad.
Brakes- Oddy Evolver and trigger Monolever with slic cable (all blue except the lever).
SeatPost- Voxom.
Seat- Stock DK.
Bars- Haro Slim in the raw finish.
Stem- Stock DK stem, flipped.
Pedals- Oddy Twisted.
Hubs- DK Macho.
Grips- Josh Stricker signature.

Get Odyssey 1X4 or 2X4. Much stronger posts & work just as good as koolstops.

1x4 comes stock on the evolvers does it not? and 2x4 is overkill

CMcMahon
05-15-06, 08:47 PM
I wasn't even aware that they made the 2x4s anymore. Who the hell still runs super-wide walled rims?

05-15-06, 08:49 PM
the only oddy part i have is my bike seat post

05-15-06, 08:49 PM
which was expensive as hell

CMcMahon
05-15-06, 08:53 PM
That's funny, because I'm looking at EmpireBMX right now, and the more expensive of Odyssey's seatposts, the Intac, comes in at a whopping twenty dollars.

Damn, that's really expensive when compared with a hundred dollar Thomson seatpost.

i got it for $30 and it was intac but its specialized in sum way

expensive? I thought you were sponsored? What free parts except seat posts?


Which explains why Odyssey is the greatest ever.

Dont even try denying it, Diamondback surpasses all. It comes from a much better brand than most surfaces after all.

Not to mention your 3.2lb Hi-Ten frame. Too bad you probably wont even find a 16" Hi-Ten frame that weighs that much. Oh, my bad, I must have forgotten. All you parts are custom made by your sponsor.

Specialized in what way? Did Moliterno piss on it or something?

Dude, he's 13. Kind of an easy target, don't you think? It's like FTC has all these cousins, and they're joining the forums to taunt you.

Yeah, he's like one of those gay guys that tries to get barebacked by someone with AIDS; he's just asking for it.

Thomson seatposts arent worth it, just get an Odyssey or Fit (there both light, like the Thomson, and alot cheaper)
