Anything on the frame is up for discussion. Our aim is to make the GG/DH a frame that performs as well as, or better than, the best frames on the market, yet is easier to maintain and own than any other. So, as you ride your GG/DH Beta, think about any ride characteristics that could be improved.
Frame adjustment Chainstay length and derailleur hanger The chainstay length of your GG/DH frame is adjustable between 17” and 17.5” via the axle mount eccentrics. Whether you should run it in the long setting or short setting is largely personal preference. For general guidelines, though, run it in the shorter setting if you’re a shorter rider, like a “snappier”...

Install both new bearings Tool: Bearing press, not a hammer! Notes: 1. Apply a thin layer of grease on the outside diatmeter of the bearing before installation. 2. After bearing install, apply liberal amounts of grease on both bearing seals- this is one more line of defense to keep water and dirt out of the bearing.

Warranty One-year frame warranty - For one year, we will replace a broken front or rear triangle that is the result of defective materials or workmanship - This is assumed that the failure is the result under normal riding conditions. Given that this is a prototype frame we don’t recommend hucking your meat like Bender.
