Post by: Zippy on July 03, 2007, 07:21 PM: Regarding the anodising of levers then you can because the rivett is made of alloy, this will anodise whatever colour your doing the lever.

The problem with calipers is that you can't anodise them if they have a QR mechanism attached because the anodising process will destroy the metal. Only alloy can be anodised. Now if you could get them re rivetted then you'd be sorted big time.

Post by: downhill3375 on July 04, 2007, 06:43 AM: tis true about the calipers :daumenhoch:
