I do not want replies along the lines of 'because of your post I tried anodising and now thanks to the sulphuric acid involved I am blind and have no nose and/or cock' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NVWOCI WVS Posted March 26, 2007 Report Share Posted March 26, 2007 im actually tempted/seriously considering trying this on my frame at some point!and i'm holding elliot completely responsible if it goes wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 26, 2007 Report Share Posted March 26, 2007 Before you gimps do it on your frame know that anodizing hardens the surface of the aluminium, depending on the tubes this could make them weaker/more brittle etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greetings Posted March 26, 2007 Report Share Posted March 26, 2007 This isn't as easy as it seems. And it's f**king dangerous.I read an article about DIY anodizing but it was about 10x longer. They're missing a few key points in there, like the density of current, temperature of the bath etc. If you want a good effect, you've got to do it properly.Good find nevertheless. And yeah, it's very tempting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greetings Posted March 26, 2007 Report Share Posted March 26, 2007 was going to say that.The coating is only a few microns thick, it won't make the frame more prone to cracking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 26, 2007 Report Share Posted March 26, 2007 The coating is only a few microns thick, it won't make the frame more prone to cracking.I was joking, but thinking about it, if it's a few microns thick, then I seriously wouldn't do it with a koxx frame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Dig Posted March 26, 2007 Report Share Posted March 26, 2007 "Then next day 500ml of 98% sulphuric acid arrived. Cool!

moto_psycho Posted March 26, 2007 Report Share Posted March 26, 2007 On a motorbike forum im on people have read this and tried it, apparantly works fine, they've done things like nuts, bolts, foot pegs etc etc. nothing like a swingarm or deltabox yet though, mainly due to the limitations of a bathtub!
