griffiths of wales Posted July 1, 2005 Report Share Posted July 1, 2005 I have just stripped down both wheels ready for rebuilding and am about to send off the hubs for anodising...my predicament; do I remove the 'redundant' cast features (raised boss with hole and slot) before I send them off? Both hubs have features that are unused, think they were probably designed to cater for break activation...any thoughts..can't see a problem but thought I'd ask. Cheers all, Mark.

woody Posted July 1, 2005 Report Share Posted July 1, 2005 According to a mate of mine who works at a platers/anodisers, anything with steel in or attached to it can't be done unless all steel is removed. I couldn't get my bottom fork yoke anodised unless the stem was pressed out first. Can't help you as to whether you can remove those redundant bits though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woody Posted July 1, 2005 Report Share Posted July 1, 2005 I know steel doesn't anodise, what I meant was that I thought it would have no affect on the steel stem in the bottom yoke, but it 'buggers up' the process in some way so there can be no steel present in what is being anodised.

griffiths of wales Posted July 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2005 OK cheers lads...I'll check with the platers. One of the lads seems to think that any surface not requiring anodising can be treated in some way prior to being processed. I'll keep you updated..cheers, Mark.

g4321 Posted July 4, 2005 Report Share Posted July 4, 2005 Mark Why not polish the hubs - Honda alloy does usually polish up quite well & polished hubs would look just as good as coloured anodising. Gordon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
