*gets out the popcorn* Man, I can't even decide who to root for here.

*slips snazz a 20 for motivational purposes*

I own a calibrated torque wrench. I don't think I've ever broken a part.

Snazzy, pass me some popcorn, unless it's salted. Oh, down under "Root" has another meaning.

I wonder what it means :-/

I'm guessing it doesn't have anything to do with Unix and its derivatives.

They don't have proper rootbeer here. Every beer is a root beer. Have a beer, you want a root.

Well thats not as bas as I thought it was.

You don't get it.

I crank the **** out of my bars,fork, wheels, sprocket bolt,seatpost clamp, bar ends, and my pedals

[echo] I own a calibrated torque wrench. I don't think I've ever broken a part.

Yeah, me too(not bar ends though). I should have given a little more thought to what I said before.

You get your stem yet?

Nope. Not yet, I should be getting it on Wednesday or Thursday. I'll keep you posted on it.

I just got it this morning. It was pretty confusing to put on at first, but after I put it on and off about 3 times I got it down(first I put the bars on backwards, then I forget my gyro plate, then last I forgot to tighten the compression bolt). Now I just realized that I put it on upside down, I guess it doesn't matter, except that the cool Odyssey symbol doesn't show.

After I put it on right, I rode it outside a bit(manuals, 180s, 360 tail tap), and it was working fine, no slipping creaking or anything. I was just about to go ride some street, bu then it started to rain!!!

I'll try and get some pics of it up within the next few days.

sweet sound like its workin out good, i guess you will really find out when u give it a few hits from bailing

you guys are acting like a bunch of immature little kids.

but its fun to see what happens next, so continue.

Oh yeah, like anyone has ever seen the error of their ways and repented whenever someone says *that*.

I AM 100% SORY FOR NOT BELEIVING YOU GUYS! I NEVER should have trusted the reviews I read about it in Ride BMX, or on-line. It slips every time you land a little hard or bail and have your bars hit the ground. It's the BIGGEST PIECE OF **** EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I rode it today for about 4 hours and it sliped about 5 times. Right when I got home I called Dans and told them to exchange the Odyssey POS for a S&M Redneck GFR Lite(a reliable stem).

Again, Sory for not beleiving you guys.

I still ahve to give props to Odyssey for they're inovation in stem design, but it should have been tested a bit more. Odyssey still makes the greatest forks and bars though(Odyssey Pro Dirt and the Odyssey Jim Cilencki(how do you spell his name???).

Return it and get a dictionary, or spell-check software.

Well fo ahead and buy it. When it ****s up I can't say I told you so.

Are you talking about the Redneck stem? Or are you making fun of me for not beleiving you guys about the Odyssey stem?

Odyssey's CFN (ChockFullaNuts) is pretty bomber, cool idea too. Sometimes Odyssey screws up (dare I say 'Pit Bull'? I dare!) but usually they hit the mark pretty good.

CFN was some good coffee too, back in the days before Starbucks. My mum loved that stuff.

at least there inovative and try to 'shake things up a bit'
