With the growing number of sprockets becoming available in Spline Drive and Socket Drive, it’s probably a good time for you to learn a little bit about it. Odyssey just released this new video featuring Jim Bauer giving you a little insight into the Socket Drive system (which also is compatible with Spline Drive thanks to adapter) and the installation process for one of their sprockets and their Thunderbolt cranks which utilize the system. No need for one of those bolts to keep that sprocket tight anymore.
“Watch as Jim Bauer walks you through the installation process for our Socket Drive™ Thunderbolt cranks and corresponding sprocket.
For those who might be unfamiliar… 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. In addition to OUR OWN sprocket offerings, other BMX brands have released Socket Drive™ compatible sprockets as well.”
