Fork chroming
« on: February 26, 2012, 07:49:29 pm »
Have a set MR50 fork tubes that need re-chroming, I know that hard chroming is not cheap so has anyone another option or recommend a reasonably priced re chrome shop (hard chrome)?

Thanks

Hardchrome services  dont do forks anymore .
I think you will find they do. Leith rang them today to confirm - they still very definately do hardchroming of forks. Handy to know.

Excuse my ignorance, I nearly had a coronary when I saw $300 mentioned.
Is that for real?
