me and an engineer have found a way of doing the brakes without damaging the quick release but i have to get a few of these brakes together to make it worth his while to do them. so i guess there will be a lot of these brakes out there that need restoring. :daumenhoch:

crap alloy? are you sure it's got nothing to do with the steel pins in them? them dx's were made with first cast alloy, not the remixed re-cycled alloy of today of dubious qualities.

Sorry i will take that bit back its not crap ali you hit it there by saying CAST ALLOY thats why there dont anodise very well.  cast alloy is very hard to colour after anodising, like engine casings on motorbikes there are the same sort of material and most of these are painted. the steel pins will drop out in the process so yes and no it will effect how they go.

Shimano DX were never annodised in the first place so that's a no brainer.

So how much per caliper then Paul, and you say you need multiple sets does that mean all in the same colour or you just need a few to make it worth the punt?

I need a set done in gold but now is not a good time with our big summer meet in three weeks.

I'll vouch for Paul's work, top notch  :daumenhoch:

If I was still in the UK I'd have a few parts winging their way up to CustomParts to get done that's for sure  :daumenhoch:

they can be any colour on my part but its for the engineer he doesnt want to be doing odd ones now and again but i know its going to be difficult to do it that way.  this is why im asking if people are interested.  my timing is never perfect so i can sort it out after the summer meet.  in the next few weeks i will put a new price list up on here if thats ok by you (modorator) with all we can  offer and do with pictures to show what we have done in the past.  i dont want to upset anyone on here so let me know if you object to the price list or our services
i forgot to add a price.  £20 for the pair (calipers)

Paul has done many many bits for me including rims, seatposts, alloy forks, stems and even a frame!
Top quality work, and very very good prices too. Go for it I say!
