Finish Question

<< < (2/3) > >>

oldtired:
i do like suntour seat clamps , origonally black around 84 ish , stripped  back then with caustic soda,    stayed like this   :'( ,  was on a wilson frame outside but covered from the worst weather,     untill early last year




now looks like this ,  shiney survivour  :)  my personal favourate  :daumenhoch:

meticulous:
i recon silver anoed parts are the colour of the anodise,  not the colour of the aluminium.    unless they do a clear anodise......  i had some silver (not chrome) araya 7X and you couldnt polish up the finish, it just stayed the same colour, so it must of had a anodise finish.... ;)

Mattdub:
Clear & Silver anno were both used bitd .

I have a silver 7X rim here I got from Alans open day in 2008 , Alan reckoned this was and some were cadmium plated but not had any info to confirm this .

Redline:
Cheers guys.... seems this one is open to debate with different products  :LolLolLolLol:

stidds:
I think it probably depends on what the part was intended, whether it needed a harder finish on it for durability.
