jel Posted April 8, 2005 Report Share Posted April 8, 2005 I'm wanting to anodise my hub, but i don't know how or where to do it? I've heard that some people can do it on here, but i don't know who. I've also heard that car painting shops can do it, but i don't know if they could do certain materials? Cheers, Josh. PS- it's for a rear hope mono.

Matt_Tupman Posted April 8, 2005 Report Share Posted April 8, 2005 I have used a company a few times for stuff for my motorbike called Candywheels but it would be easyer to get it done by Hope as they have a facilities there to do it. give them a ring :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashley Smith Posted April 9, 2005 Report Share Posted April 9, 2005 i cant see hope doing that for you really, is it a hub which has been used? if it has already been anodised then it is unlikely you will be able to do it again, for instance when anodising you would first have to strip the old anodise by dipping in nitric acid, this makes the tolerances bigger i.e. spoke holes, and the bearing fit, not a good idea is it? also you have that problem of the ratchet ring still being in place, these are extremely difficult to remove and you can not anodide whilst stell is in place regards ash :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I rang hope today and they told me that they probably couldn't, but i could buy a new hub shell and ask for an unusual colour :P :D . Cheers, Josh.

Ashley Smith Posted April 9, 2005 Report Share Posted April 9, 2005 getting a ratchet ring out of a hope hub is a difficult job (extremely) i know the guys at hope and they don't like removing them, because they are always so tight, you will not be able to do it yourself either, i was tolds by hope it takes about three people to hold the wheel whilst another person tries to get the ring out using a tool with a long bar for leaverage regards ash >_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaron_trials _247 Posted April 10, 2005 Report Share Posted April 10, 2005 rite here we go , the ring is made of steel and the hub shell is made of alu the they heat up the hub shell i think which makes the hole for the ring to expand and the ratchet ring to just pop out / pull out nice and easy Dan (dont try it at home lol they have all the ptroper tools Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
