Title: 1st Gen SST Hubs back from the Annodizers
Post by: AKGOFF on March 28, 2013, 06:18 PM: This is the original colour of these actual hubs when Greg Hill rode them BITD. I was in two minds weather to leave them polished or go back to OG colours, I'm glad I did as they look amazing and I can't wait for Steve to build them.

Here they are as I got them:

Here's how a NOS rear looks:

And here's how mine came back from the Annodizers today:

I noticed that but the spokes should hide any inconsistencies shouldn't they? Do you think anodising the whole hub then faffing around with a dremel or similar would have worked better? You could still tidy up those areas now as long as you masked up the areas around the slots.

Nice hubs BTW. :daumenhoch:

They're good but they're not 100% perfect but you maybe right about sharpening up some of the edges. Problem is they're not completely 90 degrees as they have been polished before so the edges are a little rounded. As you quite rightly say though, the spokes should cover it. :daumenhoch:

I don't think many people remember them Andy so the connections not there. I'm not surprised they're not everyone's cup of tea, they're a bit lairy to say the least.
