    Don't forget the Sunday Darkwave forks! They are basically R28's as they have a nice and balanced 28mm offset. Made by Odyssey for Sunday and still 'Stampy' tested with the addition of the lifetime warranty too.

    Forgot to add. The compression cap that looks like a smiling cyclops is there so you can run the front brake line through the smile portion and still be able to service your rig without removing brake cable. Thanks for all you do!👍Up Tha BMX!!!👍🤪👍

    I do like the S&M XLT forks, I've built a few bikes with them and never had an issue. I don't believe the S&M forks are too much cheaper and for the money Oddy are the go to unless you need brand matching on your bike!

      In my experience, it really depends on the tire. Slicker tires fit, the odyssey Aitken 2.4 fits, the demolition hammerhead and s&m mainline in 2.4 (which are both knobbier tires) will rub.

    R in R32 R25 and R15 stands for race, don't know why but they mention it in the description of their R25s saying "32mm offset is the standard offset that the Odyssey Race forks have come with for years, and they now also offer a steeper/quicker 25mm offset for the street riders" Implying that it stands for race. The F in the F32 F25 and F15s I'm guessing stands for Freestyle?.

    Your model forks are really old for the tires to rub, over the last couple years they have widened them up a hair. I run a 2.4 on a wider front rim. No issues rubbing what so ever. However the warranty is isolated for the first time buyer. You’re supposed to have the receipt when getting the warranty. Lastly. All the forks are amazing. I’ve ridden every pair over the years. I had one pair or 32d catastrophically fail. I barspinned off the curb and the forks snapped off inside the steerer tube and my wheel rolled away as my face bounced off the street. They replaced them within a day and never had another issue. The F stands for Flat I believe, could also stand for front like front break.

    Hey Dougsterbob!👍🤪👍I love my Odyssey forks!👍They have been my fork of choice for years. I run F32mm and F25mm offsets. I've been running brakes up front and of course back since, well let's just say a long time. I ride everything including flatland so brakes have always served me well for all the crazy antics I like to put myself through.🤪 You questioned what the R and F stand for. Well the R designation refers to race and F for freestyle. You're doing a lot of fantastic things for the BMX community!👍 Keep kicking ass brother!👍 Up Tha BMX!!!👍🤪🤘👊🍻🏴‍☠️🍻👊🤘🤪👍

    I personally wouldn't buy these new, because I don't buy new I'm not rich, but you can find oddy forks used for good prices. I'm a fan of the 2nd hand market, you'll never catch me buying new ever! Other than a headset or BB lol But I will get all the same things you get from your new item from my used item! That being said, I need more of YOU guys to buy these new so there can be more on the 2nd hand market later lol
