Sort of…it needs to be bead blasted so it can grind…it goes in Friday to a titanium machinist here in Vegas to take care of that. He can re-tint it darker, too, so the hubstack matches…it’s cheaper than trying to find a lighter blue ricestack. 🙂 Thank You for liking it. 🙂 ---

Fully ceramic hub stack bearings = an expensive proposition with only slight potential performance enhancement. …And;if your oring failed and the hub stack went flying; The bearing would still be contained within the hubstack. So the chance of cracking it would be one rare thing… ---
