Odyssey Forks

Radical Mick:
I'm looking to get a pair of Odyssey forks to go with my 2001/2 T1 Barcode frame.

Looking at the ones for sale on e-bay I have noticed that the hole in the top cap seems off centre,  :wtf:

Is this something special to Odyssey forks only?

I have brought an FSA pig headset, is it compatible with Odyssey forks or must I use the Odyssey top-cap system?

Any help/suggestions appreciated :)

If they use the same topcap as my Director forks they are internally threaded rather than using a star washer thingy. The offset hole you mention is actually where you tighten the cap up with an 8mm Allen key :daumenhoch:

That makes sense, thanks for that.  :daumenhoch:

Think I should probably be able to use the Headset I have and leave the star washer and top cap from the FSA headset out.

 :) Does your T1 have regular headset cups? Odyssey forks have a built-in crown race that is designed to fit with headsets with a 45 degree lower bearing....

The offset hole also allows for routing a cable through for a front brake but still be able to tighten it up  :daumenhoch:
