[Fot] Coated Bearing source update

[Scott Janzen]

thanks for the feedback from several of you.  I contacted Calico Coatings (Denver, NC) and they will coat a set of rods and mains for about $68 plus shipping.  Bearings are only in their shop for 1-2 days.  I’ve used Calico-coated trimetal King bearings before, sourced from a vendor, and my experience has been that the coating holds up really well, prolonging the bearing and crank life compared to non-coated bearings.

Since that vendor that I got the coated bearings from is MIA, good to hear it’s easy, quick, and cheaper to do it this way.  You can just order your bearings, have them shipped to Calico directly, and they will forward them on to you in short order.
