andy_290 Posted March 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2006 Quality pics mate, looks like top notch stuff, any problems with scuffing/scratching? Also, where did you get your frame boot protector from for the sherco? Cheers Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
how61 Posted March 4, 2006 Report Share Posted March 4, 2006 The polished edges soon buff back up if they scuff, the powder coated rims will chip if they get a very hard knock but the colour touches in fine. Go on Andy give em a try!! you`ll love em! regards Howard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy_290 Posted March 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2006 Obviously being a man of experience, which do you recommend, anodising or powder coating? Cheers Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
how61 Posted March 4, 2006 Report Share Posted March 4, 2006 Sorry Andy forgot to mention the frame boots, its just Technosel Carbon cut carefully and it goes on a treat with a bit of heat applied to the frame. It looks better than the standard factory patches which only tend to catch and tear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
how61 Posted March 4, 2006 Report Share Posted March 4, 2006 The colour realy determines which route you go down Andy, some of the colours such as the repsol orange only look right when powder coated. I suppose anodising is a more practical finnish it will scratch rather than chip if the situation arose, they all look stunning and very personnel.

andy_290 Posted March 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2006 Thanks for your help Howard. I'll get some of that Technosel sheeting when I get the chance, and next time I've got a 2 week gap in my calendar, they're going in for some anodising Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the artist formerly known as ish Posted March 6, 2006 Report Share Posted March 6, 2006 Paint is heavy stuff, would probably add a lot more weight than anodising. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy_290 Posted March 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2006 Doesn't bother me, I'm about 2st heavier than I'd like Got these replies: Candywheels Hi there, We can do this for you no problem, your looking at 2 week turn around and the total cost is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
essex rider Posted March 6, 2006 Report Share Posted March 6, 2006 Candy wheels will do you a new set of spokes as well (for a cost) and they actually do them in PINK arent you soooooooooo lucky I feel candy wheels will do a better job as this is what they specialise in and they'll rebuild them as well (this can take a couple of days if your slow like me!!
