Re: [RBW] Re: Anodized Silver vs Polished Components. Which do you prefer?

To me polished to be sustainably sparkly is best reserved for raw/unfinished aluminum parts. I have Specialized Stage FW hubs from the 80's that are that and with some simple hand polishing using Blue Magic and a rag become shimmery rotating hourglasses. Most vintage derailleurs are raw also an

Re: [RBW] Re: Anodized Silver vs Polished Components. Which do you prefer?

Well sure. The anodizing on a crank is going to wear from abrasion with your shoe. That's hard to avoid. But there's usually nothing rubbing on brake calipers or rear derailleurs, seat posts, front derailleur clamps, or handlebar stems. On Wed, Aug 14, 2024 at 10:34 AM Ryan wrote: > Well...thank

Rich, I'm on the hunt for a Paul F.M. Which version do you have? I'm specifically looking for the 27.2mm seatpost version to replace a Nitto that is allowing too much cable flexing during braking. Thanks for your time. Huston Lexington, KY On Wednesday, August 14, 2024 at 5:35:55 PM UTC-4

Ryan, regarding the worn anodized finish on the cranks; that's when it's time to strip and polish them. They'll. look better than ever, though it is a bit of a project. On Wednesday, August 14, 2024 at 10:34:31 AM UTC-4 Ryan wrote: > Well...thanks all...I learned something(as I usually do in th
