Profile Racing Frostbike 2013

The annual Frostbike tradeshow that QBP has been putting on the past few years has continued to grow and get even better. I was fortunate enough to make it up to check out the show again this year after a year hiatus. The event is one that I look forward to every year, so I made sure to have my ducks in a row this year to make sure I could get in.

I know there’s a few of you out there that have been waiting for this one. Odyssey‘s Socket Drive Thunderbolt cranks and Killington Sprocket is available now. Check out more info below then hit up your favorite shop or mail-order to get some ordered up.

“Our Socket Drive interface system has been in use on our FLATWARE CRANKS since their inception, and it was only a matter of time before the system was adapted into our THUNDERBOLT cranks. The time has come.

In a nutshell, the Socket Drive™ system is a 9 sided interface which eliminates the need for a sprocket bolt. The sprocket itself is machined so there is no need for a sprocket insert of any kind. The two work great together. The interface is solid and reliable, so we are now offer the KILLINGTON sprocket to match.
