Would it matter the rear wheel being on backwards :?:
Bearings being one concern.

I like it. But not for that price. Looks good on that bike. Too bad Erik never saw fit to do a single sided when going from S1 to X1. Would have sold twice as many. Likely too heavy of a design to fit his philosophies. I know the older Ducati singles are heavier than the double sided offerings.

Why would you need two calipers on a rear wheel? What a load of old bollox!
X1 swing arm is great as it is :)

'Why would you need two calipers on a rear wheel?' - Anybody remember the time when having an open, unbraked, slightly too large front wheel was a fashion must have for chops and trikes? Well two independantly plumbed calipers onto the same disc fulfilled the regs requirement for ' two independant braking systems' and was used as a get out of jail for custom builders. Performance was not good, very much form over function, but it was legal and it gave you the look you were after.

Wheel sits on an axle just like every other wheel in the world. Will be fine. The swing arm twisting is another story, which is why single siders are so heavy. Never recalled an issue with the Metchamex one.

The brake and pulley are on the one bearing side of the wheel ,maybe that`s been changed .
