Powder coating a hub
I am going to be buying a Koxx One Hub and cranks from renegade and I am also going to be visiting my brother in Calgary where he is friends with the owners of a company that does powder coating. I was wondering what I would have to do with the hub to prepare it for powder coating and generaly info on doing this. Thanks -- ntappin ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ntappin's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/10800 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/47140 |

Thanks I would think you *wouldn't* want it powder coated on the splines or where the bolt goes in at either end. Can you just tape those parts off? i have no idea about powder coating -- mango *Neener, neener, neener. *-harper ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mango's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/3892 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/47140 |

Talk to the shop-owner if he(or she) can solve the fact that you don't want the splines coated.. And i don't know if it should be a problem wiht the spoke-holes! -- lleberg I 3 my unicycle! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ lleberg's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/8272 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/47140 |

Give it a clean and a degrease then put some masking tape over the splines. That's about it really. -- nickjb ------------------------------------------------------------------------ nickjb's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/1074 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/47140 |

It might be easier to powdercoat the holes and drill them out afterwards, but I'm no pro... ask a pro for sure, this sounds like a very tedious task! -- maestro8 Those are my principles.

Nah, the spoke holes would be fine. It isn't such a precise fit where the .002mm of powdercoat would get in the way. -- digitalattrition "When life hands you a lemon, say 'Oh yeah, I like lemons.
