I got back into it at the tail end of the "heavy duty" era, with a DBI frame and 14mm Pitchfork. There were still 43t sprockets too, though you could go down to a 39 or so by then. Next thing you know everyone was running the Odyssey race forks.
Hey so I have an odyssey r25 fork on a cult Heavens gate frame. The headset is small compared to the forks steering height. I'm using a front load stem.(8mm) Should I keep 30mm of spacers down below or should I put a spacer on top of my stem to bring down the height? What would you do in a situation like this danscomp? I don't use breaks or plan on cutting the forks. Cheers
You could really go either way and it will work. You can leave it where it's at now and just add the spacer on top of the stem. If you don't mind the extra height you could put the spacer under the stem, but you're making the front end sit up taller. It's really up to you and your preferences.
@@danscompvideos I guess there isn't much of a change then. I'll keep it as is asceticism. (I think having a spacer on top of the stem looks bad) but perhaps I could try putting a spacer on top or the stem and taking off some mm off the bottom
@@danscompvideos yeah I wish they'd make regular size for every forks but odyssey are like 180 and while most of them are 165. What ever though I guess I'll just rider and maybe mess with it a little. Thanks
2:47 had me crying, we've all been there lol!!

agentheinz I still run the 14mm pitchforks
with that 41 thermal lifetime guarantee it's no surprise odyssey forks are popular
Awesome work.....i am going to share this video in my BMX Group ......Lots of Love from India
Love all the tech series videos! 👍
Great explanation! Thanks Dan's Comp!
But can I use an old nos stock gt 1 1/8th press on race fork on my modern bmx frame, which is also 1 1/8th integrated?
Great video. I wish you would have touched on the different methods of snugging the fork down on the headset.
Check out our headset install video. That should cover what you're looking for ua-cam.com/video/66fHbZEoef0/v-deo.html
Hey i have a carbon fork from a expert bike on a pro xl race bike and some people have told me it has a better chance of snapping. Is this true?

@@vl995 Yeah doesn't look as clean, but really the only thing to do if you're not interested in raising your front end or cutting the steerer tube.
