Clayton Hollingsworth of Outlaw powder coating in London Ky hooked me up! Highly recommend him if you're in need of some sandblasting/powder coating

the build looks like good quality work. did you do anything in the axles to deal with oiling the pinion bearings since your running them upside down?

No I plan on trying to run extra gear oil to help with that. I don't do any high speed stuff or road riding usually only ride tight technical trails slow stuff ya know. But it could be an issue.
