You bet she is. She is the only one crazy enough to ride with me on the trails:D she makes a good spotter and is alot of fun. When the beer boys mooned her from the other truck coming back from the branding iron all she wanted to do was catch back up to them and return the favor:eek...

the bearings are the same inner and outer, always have been. either you are way overtightening the bearings or running them too loose. overtightening will seize the inner bearing spinning the race and ruining the spindle. too loose the wheel will wobble and the banging against the bearing race...
