I just got a DK Opsis 2010. I put it together myself. I am only having a couple issues. On the back wheel there is a cone shaped piece of soft rubber on the left side of the hub. It is rubbing against the hub and making a squeaking sound. Is this part supposed to spin with the wheel or stay stationary? I'm guessing it should spin with the wheel. Is it an essential part(Can I take it off)? Or should I do something to keep it spinning? Also the freewheel seems to let the crank and chain go forward about an inch before it catches. I have heard that it is not a good freewheel, but can this be optimized at all?Let me know if you've had this same problem or have any suggestions.Thanks
Just got my opsis today! Not bad for 300 bucks! Didn't like the tires so I swapped them out for some suelo tires. Can't wait to ride tomorrow. I am 35 and just getting back into flatland.here's a cell phone pic:

It won't affect your bike in any way if you take it off I think it's a dust cover or something. As for the hub that is easily fixable just look it up on google but the slack is not really bad for your hub.

The bike looks delicious with those tires on there.Throw a white KHE Watanabe seat and some white pedals on thereand I'll need to change my pants.
I really want this bike so badly !!!!!!!!!!!! Should i wait for next version or should i get it? And in what part of the year do they make the new bikes? Also, does anyone know of any sites where i can get this cheapest? Im thinking about ordering it right now but i just wanna make sure i get it from the cheapest site and free shipping if possible.

Im thinking about ordering it right now but i just wanna make sure i get it from the cheapest site and free shipping if possible.this version is awesome, can't really imagine next years version can be much better/different. Order it from danscomp and use the promo code 41d5 and you'llget the bike for 288.94 including shipping!which is like a sore d**k ( you can't beat it)
danscomp has been having some problems. It may have been cleared up by now. I think im going to buy the Opsis's frame from someone
No it was true. Lets just hope that they got the issue resolved
