ACS Stoker Pedals - what would you do with these? (pictures)

Hi all

FINALLY managed to get the 1mm of paint off these puppys.  They looked great before but blue and I could not find a 9/16 axle for my blue bike so, leaving them 1/2 for a chrome and white build bike.

What would they look like if I Wet n Dry them through the grades then polish?  Currently they look quite grainy (although in fab condition).

So, if I did decide to polish, what would you do about the loggo?  Would it look odd if I smooth and polish up to, say, 2mm of the logo?





Clearly the simplest option would be to re-paint but I defo dont want to drown them in thick powder again (the loggo starts to look rubbish).  I could just rattle can them but they look so good stripped, Im wondering if I might leave them bare??  Also, I have no cash at the mo so even a can of paint would be more than I want to spend..

thoughts??

Hi Paul,

you could polish them with wet and dry but I wouldn't personally do that. The surface is quite rough and by the time you'd polished them smooth the logo would really suffer and yes, it would look odd if you polished up to the logo. It would also be an incredibly fiddly and time consuming job.

Have you thought about getting them annodised?

Or as Terry says, get them chromed!  :daumenhoch:
