Anodising MX brakes...

<< < (2/4) > >>

funkyfresh:
Sorry JT....I've been thinking, and its clear - cant anno them, and black ones are annodised...

right now, next question -

If the quick relase had the rivet ground off so callipers could be annodised...

could someone machine a bit to replace the riveted par? My mate works for a machine shop and might be able to help..just thinking how many crappy old MX's could be salvaged and made as good as new..

Am I being to ambitious? anyone tried doing something similar?

MartyC:
The anodising process requires that no other metals be present so you would have to remove the quick release arm, it would be possible if you have access to a machine shop to make a similar rivet so I would got for it if I were you  :daumenhoch:.

Glynnyboy:
Just been checking out an old removed rivet and it looks as though with the right tools you could do it. When you put the release arm up it locks and when you pull it down to release it unlocks, if you had one fabricated i think you would probably loose the groove and the ability to lock the arm when it is released. I suppose if your not racing your not bothered about having the arm locked open. There must be a thread on here where someone has already done it.

crazycraig:
Fishface has refixed a quickrealease jobby .He had a red anno caliper re-annod black  :daumenhoch:

Haley:
had these done but they didn't have quick release. only aly can be anodised on its own as martyc said.
