hi there, generally speaking, odyssey hubs tend to be fairly quiet, but they are really long lasting hubs. They have really good bearings.

Hope this helps.

answer 6
Hi,

The noise from the cassette can best be described as a speed dependant timpani pitter patter. Sometimes akin to a Pigeon walking upon a metal roof, sometimes like a summer hailstorm falling into an ornimental fishpond, but always from the heart.

The P20 is a BMX aimed at the dirt jump area of this market thus the listing of 'jump bike'

answer 4
Hi

BMX is actually broken down into three big categories; Park, flatland and dirt.

Flatland bikes have short top tubes, plenty of space between the downtube and the front wheel and pegs, so the rider is able to stand in many places and manipulate the bike lots.

Dirt (Jump) bikes are characterized by long top tubes and high bottom brackets giving the bike greater stability in the air.

hence the Jump bike description.

Thanks

answer 2
yes, by UK British Standards (law) all bikes must be supplied with front and rear brakes, front and rear reflectors, wheel reflectors and pedal reflectors

the P20 comes with a caliper front brake, brake lever and cable

I threw mine in the dustbin, and just run the rear brake

answer 2
I would say about 26-27lb

the frame, fork and wheelset is relatively light

most of the weight is hiding in the very heavy handlebar, and the crankset

I changed my bars to Macneil XLT and dropped a bunch of weight off the bike straight away....

answer 2
the frame is actually a similar quality to aftermarket frames selling for £250-300

my last frame was a Macneil Whitton 2 and my new P20 frame is nearly the same quality, with some better features and more contemporary geometry, but for £399 I got the whole bike!
