you cant anodise these pedals because of the crap ali they use thats why there are all silver or painted. have tried before and they come out a mucky grey colour. so sorry i cant do these pedals :(

crap alloy? are you sure it's got nothing to do with the steel pins in them? them dx's were made with first cast alloy, not the remixed re-cycled alloy of today of dubious qualities.

I don't think the bearing cups come out either - they're made of steel too  ::)

Sorry i will take that bit back its not crap ali you hit it there by saying CAST ALLOY thats why there dont anodise very well.  cast alloy is very hard to colour after anodising, like engine casings on motorbikes there are the same sort of material and most of these are painted. the steel pins will drop out in the process so yes and no it will effect how they go.
