joe b Posted May 1, 2005 Report Share Posted May 1, 2005 Would have liked another koxx rim to build my profile onto but there is no silver koxx rims in the country at the moment. So i picked an onza ronnie rim, and i dont want to have odd colour rims (front and rear). Onza ronnie rims are anodized black and nitromors doesn't work on anodized stuff >_< . So, does any body know what chemical you need to strip anodized aluminium and where do you get it from? Cheers, Sexy Joe... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Si-man Posted May 1, 2005 Report Share Posted May 1, 2005 Could always try sanding it then polishing it up with a scotchbrite cloth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Nick Riviera Posted May 1, 2005 Report Share Posted May 1, 2005 (edited) before you build it , get a very fine flap wheel eg very fine grit/glass/sand and then put it in a cordless drill and use it to remove the black jobs a goodun >_< unless its already built (Y)" Edited May 1, 2005 by daahnhillaaaa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like, how long did you scrub for etc... And where abouts would one find Phosphoric Acid and Chromic Acid? Cheers, Joe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Joe. ← I just done the sidewalls, but, coat the whole rim in oven cleaner, Mr Muscle I used, it will go a dull blue colour, repeat, scrub hard, some fine wet n dry to finish it off :S It was an Alex Supra E, heavy basterd, anodised black.

Think im just going to get a Viz rim,← if you want to sacrifice good braking and extremely high strength for the sake of fashion, then yeah go for a viz rim changing from a Viz rim to a Ronnie was the most effective upgrade i have ever made on a bike trust me, afer a week you will be ripping your hair out with frustration becuase your brake will be crap, and you'l have some nice squashed sidewalls (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
