This time it’s BT45V.
A safe choice, and
the wheel balance is really excellent both front and rear ★
Since they’re not hollow, maybe that’s why the balance is so good.
Front 10g, rear 15g—pretty nice.
There are signs that insects have nested in here
To save on water, we use hot water and a Ziploc bag
Hot water dries quickly and cleans dirt really well, so it’s very efficient.
The mysterious Lockheed brake pad pin and
the useless support bracket—it’s a real pain. We lower it to avoid contact as much as possible and chamfer it heavily.
We’re replacing the fluid. (Front is Nissin & AP)
The rear uses OEM silicone-based fluid, so we don’t have that fluid in stock here—probably.
Surprisingly messy
Metric and imperial measurements are mixed together
I wish they’d standardize, man
Even a small one easily costs 20 grand
You need 15,000 candela or more ★
Though it’s annoying when they list it in Kelvin like HID specs
The headlight condition, the cutoff, the bike’s overall state—
