MX1000's PLEASE HELP

(1/3) > >>

munners:
I got a set of Mx1000's that i want to take the annodizing off so i can bring them back to the metal. I was intending to polish them up and then lacquer them.

The problem i got is the rivet for the quick release. Anyone ever taken these off?? Also would it be ok to use (Mothers Pride oven cleaner) on the chrome rivets? Would it ruin them?

Please help..

QUADROPHENIA:


dont tell me your stripping them blue ones you just brought

munners:
Na, got some others that i need to strip. He only posted them for sale today. Gonna pay for them tonight.  Ive looked for ages for blues mate. I reckon blues the new black when it comes to DC MX's! :)

Have you ever done it Pete?

Stodgy:
What colour are you stripping? You might be better off trying for a swap first as there may be others that need the anno colour and have silver spare. (i did it once with a NOS blue redneck shafted stem...never again...S&M Alex had been looking for one for ages and I just killed it).

Yeah, but with CustomParts you can get it re-done  :LolLolLolLol:

Like Dave said, try for a swap first as you never know your luck  :daumenhoch:

If not stripping it would not affect any other parts so long as you remove anything that is bolted on (micro adjuster) and not riveted (QR Mech - pain to re-rivet), Oven Pride should not affect the other metals just be careful and don't leave it in there too long, I've found rubbing the parts a bit while they are in the bag agitates it and helps get the colour out  :daumenhoch:
