Perhaps the spokes are not anodized per say but a quick google on coloring of black spokes yielded "Finished in black using an electro-chemical treatment that is durable, and does not weaken the spoke" (this is the case for DT). Sometimes the terms seems to be used loosely in this area. (Also the term differs in meaning in english and my native language, so I may be off strictly speaking.) -- 412 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 412's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/14317 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/74999 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

With the 08 wheelset I think the spokes are powdercoated or something, but not anodized. The rim is anodized. I looked into different ways of painting all of it. Couldn't find any cheap ways. -- samsta002 It's OK; luckily my neck broke my fall.

You could do all the pieces of a uni at once. (a 36" rim might be too big for their oven) I've heard you could have them add the part you want done to the piece of another customer (if you didn't mind the color they were doing) for like $15, but the shop I talked to said NO WAY at any price. Edit: agentQ has done his own powder coating. -- skilewis74 Ride everywhere and never just ride anywhere.

While we are on the topic of powdercoating. I just recently set up a powdercoating system at my house. So expect some pictures of my own custom paint jobs! -- Yobiker ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Yobiker's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/15460 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/74999 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |
