  • We're happy to introduce you to Beta's Dream Builds with an overachieving Evil Following, meticulously assembled by Ryan Palmer in his corrugated metal dream lab. With an ambition to turn short-travel bones into a longer-travel personality, this bike is a genre-bending, category-confusing looker.
    Beta and Outside+ members get full access to the breakdown of all the parts that make this bike tick: www.betamtb.com/bike-tests/dr...

      @LosGatosGTR ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Threads are really nicely machined on hubs typically so it is really no big deal and if you noticed the power drill torque was set really low. I do this all the time on my rotors with no issues.

    • @erod6468
      @erod6468 ปีที่แล้ว

      Those particular bolt holes are pretty much self centering those bolts due to their particular machining and thread pitch. Plus, after years and years and years of wrenching, you just know. That's my case.
