I am going to be buying a Koxx One Hub and cranks from renegade and I am also going to be visiting my brother in Calgary where he is friends with the owners of a company that does powder coating.
I was wondering what I would have to do with the hub to prepare it for powder coating and generaly info on doing this.
I would think you wouldn’t want it powder coated on the splines or where the bolt goes in at either end. Can you just tape those parts off? i have no idea about powder coating
The spoke holes would definitely have to be masked somehow, but to do so sounds like quite a challenge! It might be easier to powdercoat the holes and drill them out afterwards, but I’m no pro… ask a pro for sure, this sounds like a very tedious task!
Nah, the spoke holes would be fine. It isn’t such a precise fit where the .002mm of powdercoat would get in the way. If you really are worried about it though, just put some cork in the holes.
However, I would press out the axle if possible and degrease everything before sandblasting it. If you can’t press out the axle, have them use the PC oriented masking tape to take the splines up.
