shimano dx pedal dilema ??

<< < (2/4) > >>

Funkyworm:
Weren't the originally anodised ?

I'd get them re-done, just out of interest does anyone have a good way to remove the plastic end caps without damaging them as i'm wanting to strip the anno off of a set this morning  :daumenhoch:

I used to think they were anno'd too but was soon corrected!a pair of long nose pliers used carefully,maybe with some tissue on the ends should remove the caps. :daumenhoch:
It depends if you are riding the bike or not as to the finish I would use on these.If ridden I would leave raw,as any powder/paint soon wears off them when ridden.

Cheers buddy ! So if they are sprayed has anyone got the Ral colour code for shimano Blue ????

midschooljon:
Leave them bare metal. Powder on DX never looks right, its far too thick and the pedals lose the natural texture of the alloy. If you do spray them use a thin coat of spray paint.  :daumenhoch:
