To quote TB “there is no substitute for billet”. Billet will stay “blinger” for longer.

Hey Kram… I painted my hubs myself.. It will be interesting to see how long it lasts… I rekon a good powder coat or anodize is the go.. If you have the coin just buy Talon pre-colored hubs.. for some reason the Anodizers we used didn’t want to do our hubs just the rims..

were the hubs already anodised, If they were, this would be why they did not want to do again. When you re anodise you have to double etch for a longer period, this will actually reduce the wall thickness, which in turn will prob make bearings Etc not fit as well – if you wanted to change the colour this could not be done

I was told by the anodiser that hubs are cast and cast from crap alloy and when anodised the rough casting is full of pitting and the anodising then looks like crap

Billet for strength, mine are powder coated and haven’t been to bad. I am now looking and have priced Talon billet hubs this morning for the strength more then looks. I will then lace them with extra heavy duty spokes

Hey Kram

I would start with fork seals. It looked like you may have sprung a leak on your get off.
I hope your recovery is going well mate.
