Pedal up the Hill with ODIN Mountain Bikes

Are you someone who is into adventure sports? And is mountain biking your favorite thing? Whether you are into cross country biking, freeride biking, trials/street riding or downhill biking, there are different kinds of SPD mountain bikes for you to pick from. Mountain bikes are different from road bicycles and use shock absorbers and wide and knobby tires.

SPD Mountain bikes from ODIN are one of the most popular bikes among bikers. They have vast range of bikes, which are perfect for mountain bike enthusiasts. The ODIN Exolution mountain bike is one such bike. It comes with Shimano 21 speed gears with easy-to-use grip shift, making it suitable for riding on uneven off-road surfaces where you have to keep changing the speed frequently. The ODIN Exolution bike features alloy shock system from the reputed ZOOM brand to provide comfortable riding. The handle bars in these bikes are also from ZOOM.

If you want dual shock system, you can go for the ODIN Storm mountain bike. And for more number of gears, pick the ODIN Exceed. All these models from ODIN use light weight alloy frame with “Fish Scale Welds”. Reliable disk brakes provide improved stopping power because they are located at the centre of the wheels. They also feature quick release front and rear wheels. The ODIN Exolution and Exceed bikes also have alloy wheels and hubs with advanced spoke pattern.

These mountain bikes come in different styles and colours too. The ODIN Exolution comes with a two tone finish - blue and grey; the ODIN Exceed has polished alloy finish, and the ODIN Storm has a matt black finish. In addition, ODIN offers you Neco head sets with select models of these mountain bikes.

Modern ODIN mountain bikes will be your perfect partner on the rough terrain. Ready, steady, go…

a fixed road bike?

i'm want to build a fixie using my 21 spd road bike. any advice on how to take off existing crank and cogs?
thanks in advance

There are a number of different crankset designs, each of which requires a different tool and method for removal. I suggest you go to the Park Tool website and read up on crankset types. Here is the link:

When you identify your crankset type, you can get the tool and go to work.

Like cranksets, there are many types of cassettes. You simply need to get the right tool and chainwhip and away you go. Here is the link:

You are also going to need pieces and parts to convert your hub for fixie operation. Here is a Sheldon Brown article that should get you going in the right direction:

You should keep in mind, the big pain with converting a typical road bike to a fixie is chain tension. Most modern road bikes have vertical dropouts rather than horizontal dropouts, so you can position the wheel within the dropouts to adjust chain tension. You may want to look at having a wheel built with an adjustable hub that allows you to tension the chain.

Hope this helps you out.
