Yes all built in, the only disadvantage that I found on this design is for getting to the oil drainplug for the gearbox but then again how often do you need it to drain.

Does anyone have the Arlen Ness Big Rotor kit installed on their Breakout? I really hate how difficult it is sometimes to hit the brakes. Living in Atlanta where traffic can be a nightmare calls for some good braking.

I ran the Arlen Ness big rotor on my old Blackline, brake feel was noticeably better, both at the lever and in terms of stopping power.
Here’s a pic below, wrong side of the bike but you get the idea. I thought it was money well spent.

These big rotors should come standard.

I have a dumb question about swapping wheels. If I have a Breakout with ABS, do I need all ABS bearings, or just 1 per wheel and the other side regular? I understand the ABS bearings are what triggers the ABS sensor, and that they are thicker than regular bearings, but are they used on both sides of the wheel, or just the side the sensor is on?

Just be sure that the new wheel can accept the ABS bearing, they are about 3mm thicker, the actually the ABS bearing has an encoder in it and a wheel speed sensor is mounted next to the bearing picking up the
speed info for the ABS system.

Are there any differences at all (size-wise) between all the generations of Breakout wheels (10 spoke, Turbine, and 2018+), or do they all swap with each other freely? Would complete rears with pulley and rotor attached just swap between bikes without doing anything, or do you have to use different or additional spacers on any of them?
