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.

As a fellow bike mechanic you just know when someone enjoys what they’re building, a pleasure to watch, kudos.

@steviejks 2 жыл бұрын

Was thinking the same. By the time you notice you cross threaded it's probably too late.

@LosGatosGTR Жыл бұрын

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 Жыл бұрын

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.

This is hilarious, hear me out. Back when you built up an Enduro I had already traded in my 2019 SJ and transferred all the shiny bits to a brand new Enduro frame! Then, after moving to Colorado I found that the Enduro needed a slightly poppier younger brother. I'll give you 3 guesses on what I purchased back in March 2021!

The fact that you verify the BB socket so throughly is something you do not see every day (5:20). The trough axis verification from both sides and ensuring the bed flatness on each side is something most bike builders (that I've seen!) don't do! People need to verify what they've bought and this is awesome to see! (And after a while they complain about creaking when pedaling, or that their BB is destroyed in avery short amount of time!) Anyway, when you state "Good Job!" on the bike's constrution BB is something you don't see everyday! You got yourself a subscriber!
