EXCALIBUR ONE-PIECE CRANKS.www.odysseybmx.com: Nearly everyone was riding one-piece cranks in the eighties, and the Excalibur had a reputation for being stronger than many of the other one-piece cranks that were on the market. Amazingly enough, production continued on the Excalibur through 2007, over twenty years after its initial introduction.
Redline Flight Cranks (3rd Generation)
The half-wrapped single-pinch Redline Flight™ Cranks are regarded as the third (3rd) generation Redline Flight™ Cranks by oldschool BMX collectors.
Half-Wrapped refers to how the pedal and spindle bosses are connected to the crank arm. Half-wrapped cranks have the spindle boss completely wrapped by the crank arm while the pedal boss is welded onto the crank arm. Single-Pinch refers to there being a single pinch bolt securing the spindle boss to the spindle.

"Here's a real success story - 16-year-old Brian MOses, not the fastes racer in the world but stoked on BMX and very innovative, decided to use his sources to make a precision hub. He made two pairs - one for himself and one for friend Danny Millwee. Thus, it got in the mags. Soon after, the demands started puring in from all over the country. Now, only a year later, Moses and MXR have sold many top quality hubs. Sure, they might be expensive, but they're worth it!" ~ BMX Action, May 1988.Supposedly 100 sets of Pro Model hubs and 25 sets of Mini Model hubs were produced. In 1987/88 they retailed for $390 per set. The equivalent Hutch Magnesium hubs were retailing for $110 per set.

The ACS RL Edge tire were 1.75's and they were rated at 100 psi. It was the highest pressure rating available at the time.

ACS Rotor 55 Stem
ACS updated the ever popular Rotor 45 Stem and solved what became a problem with the ACS Rotor - The stem had to be raised considerably to allow the Rotor to operate correctly. The ACS Rotor 55 Stem had a Specially Angled Forged Aluminium Head position. This lowered the handlebars without losing the stem shaft height required to run the Rotor and aided responsiveness and control. The ACS Rotor 55 Stem also came with a built-in adjustable rear cable guide and a hollow chrome moly stem bolt.
Unfortunately, these also became famous for the hairline cracks that would appear in the clamp bolt holes where the stem slants downwards.
