Very nice design!

So it's my understanding that half of the final gear pair is attached to the wheel and the other attached to the transmission--please correct me if I misunderstood.

Was it easy to line up the gears and obtain/maintain the proper spacing when you first assembled the drivetrain and installed the transmission(just bolt it up and done), or did you have to make several tweeks to get the gears to line up just right?
