Correct, the bearings are held entirely in the Versa-Block, so the wheel load is distributed evenly all along the top and bottom of the tube where it is clamped. The Versa-Block is by design, extremely robust, and the bearings are held .25" out from the tube, putting even less stress on the shaft/bearings then if the bearings were held inside the tube.
