Thinking of white powder rather than a raw look to keep the freestyle look.

Sheesh! I'm bookmarking this one. V interesting design. Balancing rotors are a nightmare so that collar might do the trick if it's slippy enough inside.

The rotor will have twin cables top and bottom so should be easier to balance. Im hoping to be able to get the stem sat pretty low on the headset or flexfighter with just the two cables protruding out the bottom :)
