Title: Suntour Sealed Hubs
Post by: rhino_mac on June 03, 2009, 03:29 PM

Does anyone know what the finish is on Suntour Sealed Bearing Hubs? I need to change some red ones over to black.

Are they annodised, painted or powder coated?

Also, are they easy to get apart?

Cheers

Richard

They should be anodised, easy enough to take apart and put back together  :daumenhoch:

Nice, I've got an engineer mate who's always getting things black annodised so this should be easy peezy.

Thanks for the link! Looks reasonably easy  :daumenhoch:

Just bloody built these wheels up on low flange hubs!! Typical..................the wife's gonna kill me when another box turns up in the post. Just need a frame/forks etc etc to go with those rims now!  :2funny:
