It didn't work as well as a grind because the edges weren't as rough as what you would get with a grind. It provides excellent hold but not so good bite. EDIT: actually this might be the article from the past Edited March 16, 2021 by Canardweb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Non ha funzionato bene come una molatura perché i bordi non erano ruvidi come quello che si otterrebbe con una molatura. Fornisce un'eccellente tenuta ma non una buona presa.

Davetrials Posted March 31, 2021 Report Share Posted March 31, 2021 Didn't onza sell this years ago on one of their rims? @Adam@TartyBikes do you remember this? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted March 31, 2021 Report Share Posted March 31, 2021 Hmmm. I think they experimented with it. I can't recall with much certainty. I do remember Craig (writer of original link in the thread) playing around with it though - shame it didn't work out! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwtrials Posted March 31, 2021 Report Share Posted March 31, 2021 (edited) Remember the plazmatic rim coatings? Ha, that article is an awesome read I always wanted to grind a rim and then have it re-annodized. Since the anodize is so hard it should make it last a lot longer, but I don't think it's thick enough to round to edges significantly. Any engineery thoughts?

I believe it was the year 2002 or 2003. . . If I'm not mistaken it was CNC machining ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted March 31, 2021 Report Share Posted March 31, 2021 I remember them too. Seem to remember the consensus was that they worked well in one direction, but not very well in the other direction? Couldn't say for sure though... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it would improve grind life but not proportional to the cost. Anodising still wears off rims pretty quickly - and that's with full surface area.

Before anodizing the material will need an etching pretreatment, this may "dull'en" the grind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
