Title: Recommendation for hard-anodizing Post by: DucHead on June 30, 2013, 05:49:30 AM Hi all - I have a set of fork tubes I wish to have hard-anodized.
Can anyone recommend someone/place for the job -- perhaps on the east coast? [popcorn] Title: Re: Recommendation for hard-anodizing Post by: Monsterlover on June 30, 2013, 07:37:15 PM Why hard ano vs the traditional process?

Probably doesn't want the typical faded purple/bronze that you get from most traditional black ano'd parts that are exposed to UV.

I figured he was talking about the outer tubes. Aren't the sliders steel?

He said tubes... :-\yes they are. You're prolly right. Title: Re: Recommendation for hard-anodizing Post by: DucHead on July 01, 2013, 03:26:04 AM Yes, the outer aluminum tubes, not the sliders.
