In which case I charge double to avoid the perception of impropriety or the temptation of Tom foolery.
For the flesh is weak, and I am a happily married man, thank you very much.

Yup.
Leave this man’s thread alone!

Finally got my @mikenyc adjustable baseplate set up up front.
Still no black hanger but it’s a step in the right direction.
Set it up as 50° front and 35° rear split. Thank you @skunk and @deckoz for the angling help.
The rear truck is not dropped through and has a tunnel riser for cable management.
The added bit of height from the adjustable plates actually balances the deck back out oddly enough.
First test ride with new and improved angles tomorrow.

sexy looking build!
I think you need blue surfrodz 
How much did the whole build end up costing?

Thank you! I’m worried the blue from surfrodz won’t match perfectly and it’ll drive me nuts. Planning on swapping to black though for sure. In total a little over a grand but I should do a cost column up there for reference. Great idea.
Shit it came out to $1810, why did you make me do that?!

I don’t have my davega set up yet but it’s geared for mid 30s.
@FourteeOZ that sounds like an awesome offer, I need more details as to what exact parts you have and are interested in trading.
I have one bowery surf adjustable baseplate in black and blue I’m not using. Ideally, I’m looking for 2 black 200mm rkp hangers and 1 black 35° baseplate.

Embarrassing update time:
A few weeks ago I went on a group ride and hit a gnarly chunk of devil shit directly on my gear case. I went down to single wheel drive immediately and figured my motor gear came loose. I finish the ride on an impressively fun 1wd version of my board and discover this at home.
I forgot to loctite my 
motor set screws. One backed out and was casually chilling in my motor gear and partying with the wheel gear.
Luckily the motor slid out of line with the wheel gear so not any real damage. I changed bolts and used plenty of loctite and have been riding smoothly ever since.
Remember your loctite friends.

Oh yeah and while I was in there I addressed the motor clearance issue.
Before:
After:
Full lean gives me 3 mm of clearance between the deck and the gear case 
Not cleaning up my board for a photo. Real boards get used

Lovely, going to make some TPU protectors for the drive gears?
