No mate ... Stanchions are the shiney chrome parts of your forks.... over time they damaged.

Lololol. Yeah probably should’ve read that right the first time. No had any experience with them myself.
Vaguely remember a Mate using wet and dry to rub his down then polishing up. Any YouTube vids or that on them? |

Used these, they always roll, grind, chrome plate but they do look slightly blue chrome ... but always last.

Another vote for http://www.pittedforks.co.uk/
I used them a few years back and was very pleased with the results.

@Darren69
This is the one I’m most likely to go with. £175 to have a pair rechromed Last edited by davkyt; 25-11-2019 at 01:15 PM.. Reason: Js |
