Profile Racing have released their latest Tech Tip for you to check out. This time around they have focused in on their No Boss Cranks. Bossless cranks are for those of you who prefer Spline Drive versus the traditional cranks that require a bolt to hold your sprocket in place. There’s Pros and Cons for both styles of crank arms and Profile give some insight on both. You can check out the Tech Tip right here — Tech Tip: What Is A Profile No Boss Crank
Is it time for a new set of BMX cranks? The new Calibur Cranks from Odyssey are starting to land at BMX shops and mail-orders. The Calibur cranks are a traditional style 3-piece crankset for those of you who don’t prefer Odyssey’s Thunderbolt style 2-piece cranks. You can find heat-treated chromoly tubular arms and a 22mm, 48-spline, hollow chromoly spindle with 6mm bolts to keep it all tight. These cranks feature sprocket bosses on both arms, so they are left and right side compatible. These also come with a 22mm, MID bottom bracket, so you don’t have to buy one of those separately.
The Calibur Cranks from Odyssey BMX are available in black and chrome, lengths of 165mm, 170mm and 175mm with a price tag starting at $149.99 – $159.99 based on color.
Do note that these cranks are heat-treated, but they are not covered by Odyssey’s 41 Thermal lifetime warranty they offer on some of their products. Either way, these look like a sturdy set of cranks for a great price. The Calibur cranks available through BMX shops and mail-orders that carry Odyssey BMX worldwide now.

Here’s a video showing you all the steps to properly instal Profile Racing BMX Cranks!
Profile Racing have released this new How To video explaining all the proper steps to installing a new set of their BMX cranks with a Spline Drive sprocket. The Spline Drive system allows you to eliminate the need for a sprocket bolt, simplifying things with less parts involved in the process. This video takes you through all the steps from getting the sprocket on the spindle to making sure the cranks are properly tightened down. After that, you also get all the steps on how to remove the cranks as well. This is a pretty easy process that only gets easier after you have done it a few times. If you want to learn how to work on your BMX bike, this is a great video to check out.

With the 2017 product starting to land at BMX shops and mail-orders worldwide, it’s a perfect time to take a closer look at all of the new frames and parts that Mutiny Bikes have to offer to their line up! As always, Mutiny did an amazing job of creating a line that is not only strong, but aesthetically pleasing, too. They also have avoided having a massive line of products, by only creating products that they feel they can offer something of value, versus just pumping out every part possible and slapping a Mutiny logo on it. You can get a full look at everything with photos, full specs and details below! Let’s start things off with the frames and bars.
The Jeff Wescott signature Comb frame is looking dialed with a fresh coat of Honey Red paint. This frame is made from 4130 Sanko chromoly tubing with a 74.9-degree head tube angle, 71-degree seat tube angle, 11.8″ bottom bracket height, 9″ standover height and a 13.2″ – 13.75″ chainstay length. You can find a taller 125mm Integrated, offset thickness head tube that is heat-treated for additional strength, top and down tube gussets with the debossed “Badge ‘N Bones” logo, double-butted top tube, straight gauge elliptical down tube to help resist denting, a heat-treated Mid bottom bracket, integrated seat post clamp with the horizontal cut for better clamping with less torque, a custom seat stay bridge, 6mm thick dropouts with integrated chain tensioners and removable brake mounts on the seat stay.
The 2017 Comb frame comes in Honey Red for the only color with 20.8″, 21.1″ and 21.3″ top tube lengths!
Offset thickness, 125mm tall integrated head tube. The offset thickness allows for a stronger weld where the top and down tubes and gussets meet the head tube to help resist cracking.
Custom seat stay bridge and an integrated seat post clamp with the horizontal cut for better clamping with less torque on the frame.
6mm thick dropouts with integrated chain tensioners.
The brand new Dylan Lewis signature Death Grip frame has been getting plenty of buzz thanks to the past few months where Dylan really caught everyones attention at the Van Doren Invitational and Battle of Hastings contests. The Death Grip is made from full 4130 Sanko chromoly tubing with a 74.5-degree head tube angle, 71-degree seat tube angle, 11.65″ bottom bracket height, 9.15″ standover height and a 13.7″ – 14.2″ chainstay length. You can find the offset thickness, heat-treated, 125mm tall Integrated head tube, top and down tube gussets with the Badge ‘N’ Bones logo, a triple butted top tube, double butted down tube, heat-treated Mid bottom bracket, Integrated seat post clamp with the horizontal cut to give better clamping with less torque, 6mm thick dropouts with Integrated chain tensioners and removable chainstay brake mounts.
The Death Grip frame comes in Gloss Raw for the only color with top tube lengths of 21.3″, 21.6″ and 21.8″. This frame is ideal for the taller rider or somebody who loves roasting trails or transitions without the fear of looping out.
Offset thickness, 125mm tall, heat-treated, integrated head tube with the top and down tube gussets creating a strong front end.
Custom seat stay bridge with the Mutiny logo and the integrated seat post clamp with the horizontal for better clamping with less torque.
6mm thick dropouts with integrated chain tensioners.
Next up, we have the Grant Castelluzzo signature Obscura frame. Once again, Mutiny and Grant came up with an amazing color for the frame. The Obscura frame is made from full 4130 Sanko chromoly tubing with a 75-degree head tube angle, 70-degree seat tube angle, 11.8″ bottom bracket height, 8.95″ standover height and a 12.75″ – 13.6″ chainstay length. The frame has the offset thickness, heat-treated, 125mm tall Integrated head tube with top and down tube gussets with the debossed Badge N Bones logo, a double butted top tube, straight gauge elliptical down tube to help resist denting, heat-treated Mid bottom bracket, Integrated seat post clamp with the horizontal cut to give better clamping with less torque, a custom seat stay bridge with the Mutiny logo and 6mm thick dropouts with the Integrated chain tensioners. This frame is completely brakeless, so there are no mounts. The steeper head tube, higher bottom bracket and shorter chainstay length makes for a responsive frame that’s ideal for technical street riding.
The 2017 Obscura frame comes in Translucent Olive for the only color with 20.2″, 20.6″, 20.8″ and 21.1″ top tube lengths available. Also note that this frame has a 70-degree seat tube angle so it makes the frame feel a bit shorter. You can learn about how it all works here — BMX Frame Geometry
