Tech and Restoration / Pad Set Cleaning

« Last post by Chilli Rinse on April 23, 2019, 09:27 PM »

So guys when I bought Mogly's Blue Max the og pad set was included. They are nicely faded survivor condition and only slightly grubby. Any tips on gently cleaning them without losing any printing and spoiling them. If it's best to leave them I will. Any advice gents ?

Don't worry David I'm not doing the stem pad with signatures

Tech and Restoration / Chroming recommendations.

« Last post by bruggers100 on April 23, 2019, 09:19 PM »

Hi, I will be getting a new set of forks for my Curtis Freestyler.  They will be sent in their raw state to me as I want to get them chromed.  I’ve seen Allen Chrome recommended on here for years so I’ll contact them to get a price, however, I’m down South in Sussex so was wondering if anyone had used someone down this way for chroming.  I’ve not got anything chromed before so I’m a bit clueless about what sort of prep if any is required.

Thanks for that.
It is early days for the videos and they can only improve. I am not happy with them but I have at least started, you can not get better unless you give it a go!

Another rad build Ady.
I see a Shane Taylor mentioned in some of the later comments- in our Cardiff Over 40's crew that ride regulary we have a Shane Taylor who still rides his Gt from back in the day. Chrome with yellow tuffs. About 50 so could be the same guy.
Surprised our paths never crossed back in the 80's as I was local to the shops Tom Martin and Dragon Wheels in Cardiff.

That’s him bud. Raddest lad in the Vale, still riding too
