 :4_17_5:  Great stuff , glad you got one mate  :).

Like Rodriquez said above , get them fully stripped down (bearings out etc) and then annodising them will be easy  :daumenhoch:

Who we looking at for a little work anodising nowadays then ? Anodiser chick has disappeared from Rad... she told me she'd had enough on here after a couple of jobs for Radsters turned a little sour. She said that's it after she done a seat clamp for me.
Was friends on fb but not anymore for some reason. Even after me kissing her arse... telling she's doing a great job and we really need her to stick around. ???

Old Suntour stuff tends to be a bit poor to anodize. The hubs usually suffer from pitting. If it uses cartridge bearings then the bearing surfaces will have to be sealed before stripping or you'll mess up the sizes.
