Rebuilding Forks
Going to be rebuilding my forks soon, found a good contact to get the hard chrome done.
My question is does anyone have a contact that can do the Gold looking Titanium Nitriding?

Re: Rebuilding Forks
Can they do it on old forks? I was told by one company they had to be brand new.

Re: Rebuilding Forks
I live just up the road from a MTB company that make some very tasty oneoff titanium stuff, got taking to them and noticed some TiNi'd stuff so asked if forks were ok and they said the giy they used does it for most of the suspension makers. It is fantastic stuff.

Re: Rebuilding Forks
Dunno, will call in if you like but dont think much stuff is 8mm on a mtb, usualy 5 or 6mm.
