Odyssey – Litehouse Rim

Is it time for a new set of BMX rims? The crew over at Odyssey have released their new Litehouse Rim that might just be what you’re looking for. Get the full specs and details below.

“The Odyssey Litehouse Rim is both light and strong, with super-thick angled sidewalls to minimize the risk of damage when you hang up. The rim features a wider cross-section than normal to compliment modern tire widths. Designed as a semi-brakeless rim that can be run front or rear. When brakes are used, be sure to adjust the pads so they avoid making contact with the tire’s sidewall, as usual. 388 ERD, 475g weight, 35mm width. 6061-T6 aluminum.

Available now. Ask for it at your local shop or favorite mailorder.”

The Lighthouse Rim is going for around $59.99 through Odyssey dealers now!

Odyssey Hazard Lite Rim Celebrates 15 Years

Leave a Comment

If you have been riding BMX for a long time, you know by now that many products come and go pretty quick, dependent on how well they sell and if it holds a positive reputation for getting the job done. Unfortunately with how fast trends can come and go, a lot of great products disappear sooner than later. There are very few products that last more than a few years and even fewer that last a decade without many changes. So, when an anniversary celebrating a products 15th year in rotation (pun intended), it’s a pretty impressive milestone. Odyssey are celebrating the 15 year anniversary of their classic Hazard Lite rim, which was a lighter and more dialed version of their original Hazard rim that was an absolute tank. The Hazard Lite, made from 6061-T6 aluminum features a double wall design and precision welded seam with a design that can handle abuse from street, ramps and trails riding. It weighs in at 17.7 oz and has come in a number of colors over the year, but you can’t go wrong with the classic black that is seen above. As always, you can pick this rim up for $67.99 through BMX shops and mail-orders that carry Odyssey worldwide.

“2016 marks the 15 year anniversary of the Hazard Lite. Born out of the original high-walled Hazard Rim, the Hazard Lite has withstood the test of time. If you look back through the years, you will find this rim beneath many riders and it remains one of the top selling products in our lineup to this day. There have been some lookalikes, but nothing beats the real thing. Light, strong and reliable, just like they always have been. Cheers to a timeless classic!”

Here is a look at a new BMX rim we spotted at Interbike 2016 from Eclat. The Raven rim is made from 6069-T6 alloy with a 36mm width, extra rounded edges to help prevent pinch flats, extra thick sidewalls to help resist denting, a deep channel to make it easier to install or remove tires, a lower profile sidewall with a slight angle for looks, but still brake compatible and extra thick, offset spoke holes for strength. The Raven rim is flash welded at the seam.

The Raven Rim will be available in a glossy black color and an Alex Kennedy inspired Neon Yellow — which you can get a look at Interbike 2016 – Eclat — through BMX shops and mail-orders that carry Eclat worldwide!

Flybikes keeping the 2017 previews coming. This time around we get a look at their parts in their new Space Grey colorway. Based on the photo, we can see their Piramide rim and the new Lunar rim, the Tractor and Tractor XL sprocket, Roey stem, Tripod seat post, Rotar bottom bracket and headset and the new front and topload Volcano stems. Really digging the clean look that this color gives everything! It sounds like the new 2017 products from Flybikes will be dropping at the end of October / early November, so keep your eye out for it if you’re digging this.

The Rotar bottom bracket, Tractor XL sprocket and Dolmen 2 cranks all paired up.

The Tractor Sprocket in the new Space Grey color.

The larger version of the Tractor sprocket, the Tractor XL sprocket in the new Space Grey color. This sprocket is unique because it’s 16mm thick in the center, eliminating the need for spacers and a bottom bracket dust cover, then tapers down to 6mm at the teeth like a traditional sprocket. Clean and simple.

Merritt BMX – Battle Rim

Leave a Comment

Merritt coming through with a new rim to add to their growing line of products. The Battle Rim steps away from the low profile trend we’ve been seeing in BMX with some taller sidewalls to give the rim a little more beef. The Battle rim is made from 6061-aluminum with a 39mm width and a welded seam to ensure strength. We’re assuming it’s a double wall rim and it appears to have a beefier ridge in the middle to help prevent spokes from blowing out. We’re not sure if the rim will be available in more colors than black, but we can tell you it weighs in at 21.2 oz. and will be available for $79.99 through BMX shops and mail-orders that carry Merritt worldwide.

Due out the end of September
