 :4_17_5:  Great stuff , glad you got one mate  :).

Like Rodriquez said above , get them fully stripped down (bearings out etc) and then annodising them will be easy  :daumenhoch:

I'm sure I read a post along time back that they don't re anodise or if they did the quality was pretty poor

Who we looking at for a little work anodising nowadays then ? Anodiser chick has disappeared from Rad... she told me she'd had enough on here after a couple of jobs for Radsters turned a little sour. She said that's it after she done a seat clamp for me.
Was friends on fb but not anymore for some reason. Even after me kissing her arse... telling she's doing a great job and we really need her to stick around. ???

Just noticed that she's knobbed me off on facebook too Nick. Have to say i'm a bit surprised after i hadn't stopped bigging her up after the amazing anno job she did on my now red brakeset.

Old Suntour stuff tends to be a bit poor to anodize. The hubs usually suffer from pitting. If it uses cartridge bearings then the bearing surfaces will have to be sealed before stripping or you'll mess up the sizes.
