We like to make our own gearboxes so we can get the exact ratios and mounting configuration we're after. However, we are still conscious of time and budget constraints and limited resources. This year we used numerous individual AndyMark gears in our drivetrain and spool gearboxes. They're cheaper than Martin gears, there are no heavy hubs, and they already have a hex broached bore (or in the case of the dog gears, are all ready to go).
