Regards holes in the BB shell. I have one on my Marin Wolf Ridge, so does my mate on his Whyte 46….maybe its a Marin thing…to be fair i've not greatly looked into it, may have been a bit premature with the statement. 😳
Anyway, yup agree with the upside down , seatpost out thing, and plenty of grease in the right places. However as my new build is steel, would i be prudent in putting a little hole in the bottom to try and keep internal rusting to a minimum?
Oh and if my memory serves me (i'm at work you see), i think i have a little hole in the bottom of the swingarm as well…..going to look when i get home.
