The Art of the Twisted PC

August 10, 2016

odyssey-twisted-pc-bmx-pedals-black

When it comes to BMX, it’s an ever revolving door of products that offer a number of different things from special features, unique geometry, different materials, different sizes all the way to interesting graphics and color combinations. We have seen trends come and go, innovative ideas that completely changed the game setting a new standard, ideas that were complete flops, some of those complete flops re-introduced years later and end up popular, ideas that were copied and replicated by multiple brands flooding the market and more. BMX frames have gone from 8 pound beasts to a more back friendly 5 pound range.

Looking back over the years, it’s really pretty crazy to think of all the different products that have come and gone. Some popular that riders were sad to see go, to products that we can only hope never make a comeback (stripped plastic seats anyone?). Although there have been a lot of changes, it’s pretty cool to see the products that have really stood the test of time with pretty minimal tweaks. If there’s one perfect example of a product that has stood the test of time, it would be Odyssey‘s Twisted PC pedals. Who would have thought something as simple as a plastic BMX pedal would come out so well, that it would become and remain popular for years. As some of you might know, Odyssey originally released the Twisted PC pedals back in 1997. You can learn all about that right here — Drawing Board: Odyssey Twisted PC Pedal. The pedals originally weren’t very popular because it was a time when metal pedals ruled the world, but eventually people started using them and plastic pedals became more common and they blew up in popularity. Other than some minor changes like the spindles, the plastic material for different colors or styles like clear plastic, there really hasn’t been too many changes. That is other than the different color options that we’ve seen over the years. Yesterday, Odyssey released their new Black Tie Dye color and it got us thinking about some of the different colors we’ve seen over the years, so we hopped on the old Google and did some searches to compile a bunch of the different pedals. Here’s what we came up with…

Black Tie Dye

White Tie Dye

Who remembers these? The color changing pedals. They were white, but would change into different colors with sunlight.

odyssey-bmx-twisted-pc-glow-in-the-dark-1

odyssey-bmx-twisted-pc-glow-in-the-dark-2

Speaking of color changing. The glow in the dark option was an interesting color option for the Twisted PC pedals.

odyssey-twisted-pc-bmx-pedals-aloha

These were a little more recent. The Aloha pedals used a floral wrap that was bound to make you want to go to Hawaii.

odyssey-twisted-pc-bmx-pedals-clear

As we mentioned above, Odyssey had their clear Twisted PC pedals that required a slightly different type of plastic composite that allowed for it to be see through.

The clear pedals were also introduced in a number of see through colors. Above is a look at a few of the see through color options and below that is the “Fader” color that featured three different colors on one pedal.

The “Crackle” color of the pedals came in a few different colors with swirls of black mixed in to give it that interesting look.

odyssey-twisted-pc-bmx-pedals-blue-camo

There were the camouflage color pedals as well!

odyssey-twisted-pc-bmx-pedals-gold

odyssey-twisted-pc-bmx-pedals-metallic-colors

The metallic color. Plastic with the metal look. There were also available in a handful of colors.

odyssey-twisted-pc-bmx-pedals-galaxy

The “Galaxy” pedals were interesting because they seriously set BMX on fire with the color. Odyssey released matching Monogram Tripod Seats that were available in a few different colors to go with these. Also, Madera released a “Celestial” colorway that matched for their hubs and stems, followed by their Celestial Protocal HT cranks that gave you a number of options to make your bike look out of this world.

So, that’s a look at just a handful of colors that the Odyssey Twisted PC pedals have come in over the years. We know there’s a ton of colors we have missed since they have been available in a number of solid colors, which you can see a few of in the embed below! We’re trying to remember if there were any crazy color options that we blanked on. If you can think of any, let us know in the comments!

What’s one color that has never been done, that you think would be really cool? Let us know in the comments as well!

What will be next from Odyssey as far as colors go? We’ll just have to wait and see…

Odyssey BMX – Blue Blood Grandstand Pedals

August 2, 2016

odyssey-bmx-blue-blood-grandstand-pedals-tom-dugan-700x

Odyssey have been doing a few throwback colorways lately that have been awesome reminders of the past. In 2008, Odyssey released the Blue Blood colorway for the first time and once the limited edition run of product was gone, the color was too. They have decided that Tom Dugan‘s signature Grandstand pedals were due for a fresh coat of paint and they brought back the Blue Blood color for a limited time!

The Grandstand pedals feature a thin alloy body with a 17mm center with an uninterrupted dual concave shape that is 105mm wide with 8 metal pins per side of the pedal giving you plenty of grip. Inside, you can find a 14mm heat-treated axle with 17mm wrecnh flats and 6mm broach making it easy to put on or remove them. If metal isn’t your thing, Odyssey also offer a plastic composite (PC) version of the pedal, but it doesn’t come in the Blue Blood color.

The Blue Blood Grandstand pedals are available through BMX shops and mail-orders that carry Odyssey BMX worldwide now.

Sneak Peek: FBM – Ride The Lightning Colorway

June 27, 2016

fbm-bmx-lightning-colorway

It’s always pretty crazy seeing what can be cooked up for color options these days. We’ve seen a lot of unique ones from the different styles of camouflage, oil slick, celestial, tie dye, etc., etc. over the past few years. It looks like the crew at FBM got a shocking idea for a new color that they’re calling “Ride the Lightning” that looks like some crazy lightning. There isn’t much info to come along with the photos, but it looks like the color will be available on their PMA Topload stem, Black Heart flangless grips and Nice Nylon pedals here in the U.S through QBMX and preferred BMX shops worldwide soon. Check out more photos below!

Will these be the only parts available in this color? We’re not 100% sure. We do have a feeling these might be real popular since that color looks rad, though. Maybe since FBM and Profile Racing collaborate on a number of things, there will be some matching hubs to go with these colors? That would be pretty sweet.

We’ll keep you posted when we know more!

Product: Stolen BMX – Tie Dye Thermalite Pedals

April 26, 2016

stolen-thermalite-bmx-pedal-tie-dye

We first caught a glimpse of the new Tie Dye Thermalite BMX Pedals from Stolen back at Interbike 2015, and then we caught another look at them at Frostbike 2016 where Stolen weren’t quite sure if the tie dye version of their popular plastic pedal would be going into production. It turns out that they decided to do a run of them and they’re hitting BMX shops and mail-orders that carry Stolen worldwide now.

The Thermalite pedals are made from Stolen’s Thermalite nylon based material with a unique concave, low profile design with micro-knurling and 24 molded pins for traction, a recessed end to help prevent damage to the bearing cover, a chromoly spindle with a 6mm broach and 15mm wrench flats and unsealed bearings.
