I don`t think DX`S were anodised Si, they were painted :daumenhoch:
-
I know but I though they may look good anodised. I might just get them polished instead though.
-
I'm thinking of getting some DX pedals done next.
Also they may not be able to anodise them as they have steel studs :(
-
The pedals need a lot more work than I thought so I may not bother.

Do you know if those prices were with return post?

Just thought I'd share my knowledge.
DX pedals & all pedals that contain magnesium which most if not all cast pedals contain, are not anodisible. This is through trial & error. They come out dark grey. In my exparience CNC pedals from a block or pure alli will take the dye. PK frames come out fantastic if they are polished 1st..Flovals look awsome too.. Remember it's all in the prep. Polish to mirror 1st & make sure that frame is super clean & boom it goes on a treat.
Another tip in the prep is to tape up (lead tape used for roofing only) the seats where the cups would go. So head set & bottom bracket. So once the anodised process is done, peel off the tape & where the cups touch the frame, this should still be raw (no colour) This will then give you no problems when you squeeze those cups back in & assemble again.
I Just spent 6 months getting everything alli on my bike done (this time frame includes sorcing of correct parts aswell). I got all mine done down south & frames are the hardest to get right. Because all the holes (to expel heat when welding up) in the frame fill up in the dipping process & it's the draining out which is the tricky part. If your not carefull it will run out & leave smears like stains & have to be stripped again & start over. If your thinking about plugging the holes well you can't because then the frame will float in the tanks & you can't have that..
Finding someone A, to take on the job of a frame & B, to get it right. Is a tough one.
Here's my trusty steed..

pic1london you know ya stuff
frames are the hardest to do but when youve done a few motorbike frames a bmx frame is a little easier not much. your right it is all in the prep work to get that better finish. pic1london out of curiosity who and how much for your frame and what colour is it?
paul
-
Interesting stuff... So, can you test for magnesium content, or is it just a suck it and see process?
-
my rule on aluminium is
if its painted its painted for a reason and if its anodised it can be redone again and again and again. for example car alloys these are aluminium (and magnesium) but are always painted. most brakes on bikes are anodised because its decent stuff some will be painted but this is because you can't get white and some are painted to match the bike.
we dont know what the metal is like until we start doing it. aluminuim has change so much recently you get a lot of crap in it now which makes our life a bit harder.

Look very nice, going to get my Tuf Neck stem done in blue when my mate gets the shaft removed this weekend :daumenhoch:
-
Nice job on the frame there pic1london!
pic1londn is a guy I know called Perry who is another SE fanatic - I sold hime a pk ripper once!
That cruiser he had done gold looks very much like an Alliant Pro - am I right?
Ive got a load of stuff in with customcolour at the moment, Spoke to paul about frames and in the end he said he doesnt weant to do them as its a ong and difficult job, which is fair enough.
Im still on my search for a 90's anodised Purple Ripper frame though - SE used to do them - I'll find one one day!
-
just been to custom colour tonight had the full tour from mark 8)
what a top bloke showed me how it's all done ,and seen a few of u lots bits :coolsmiley: looking good chaps
they r doing a brake a stem and a little secret ::) all going well i will post some pics when i get um back :daumenhoch:
-
still waiting for my stuff back that I gave him in April ???
I am sure it will be worth the wait :4_17_5:
:) DINGO :)
-
Unfortunatley
custom colour is not going to be able to do anymore parts for us , shame but thats life
this area of his business is no more
Rich
-
If anyone is interested I might be able to offer my services ??
I will only take on new or NOS parts which have already been prepped tho. ie; polished.
I can't do second hand used scuffed parts because it will not make then new & get rid of the skuffs.
Here is my Alliant 24 frame NOS & fully polished before anodising..

I think he's planning on begining again with our parts, there's a thread on the Burner Forum about it.
It would be a shame if he stopped as his work is off the best quality I've ever seen.
-
NO NO NO :'( :'( :'( I hope he has not stopped as i've sent my bits off today ??? :10_2_12:
I only spoke to him a couple of weeks ago and he said fine just send the bits off!
I'm gonna give them a ring in the morning :-\
Does anyone know why he has stopped ???
Zippy can you send me the link to the burner forum please as i cannot find it :daumenhoch:

Hello guys and girls
I spoke to Mark(top guy) today and he said he will NOT be stopping anodising parts for us :4_17_5: :) the problem is he is very very busy with there main jobs that pull in all the money for the firm and they will not jepordise them for little bits and peices(bmx parts) He explained that our parts may take a little longer than usual as they do them when they have a little spare time in between their main work,once or twice a month .He explained that he doesn`t want to try and squeeze the jobs in and send out a bad job as they want to keep producing a 1st class product.
He said give them a ring before sending the bits and he will give you a rough estimated turn around time :daumenhoch:
Hope this helps some of you out :daumenhoch:
Ollie
-
mark is a cool guy, i have had some bits with him for 4 to 5 weeks now, but he's cool and assures me theyre nearly done - they ar ejust doing the parts in their spare time - will post pics when theyre done!
