FAQ
Does the gear still spin after antique wipe plating?
Antique wipe is done before the final torque check. Pieces outside the free-spin window are reworked or rejected.
How strong is the fold-out stand?
The stand is steel-riveted. We open and close it 300 times on the sealed sample and check a 70° desk pose against a 10° tilt.
Can the rider artwork be replaced with a club logo?
Yes. Send artwork early; logos need clearance checks on thin gear teeth before the mold is cut.
Is the stand comfortable against the chest while worn?
The stand folds flush into a recess. Confirm chest comfort on the wearable sample before bulk.
What packaging protects the spinning gear?
A pearl-cotton pad holds the folded stand; each medal ships in its own zip pouch so gears cannot mesh in transit.
MOQ for a spinning-gear medal?
From 50 pcs; multi-part mechanical medals are quoted per design.
Typical sampling time?
3–10 working days after proof approval, because both spin and stand need functional checks.
Do you name a specific race series on this page?
No. This is a mountain-bike-style finisher medal. Series names and logos appear only under the buyer’s authorisation.
