- How to strip and polish aluminum or steel parts to get the street-cred you deserve.
Give your old boring parts new life!
Well, back from a bit of a hiatus, but we're back now.
Next video will be the 1 year review and bike check of the Propain Tyee CF
If you feel like helping out a brother, let me know if you liked the video and leave a comment or some shit ok. Cannot afford to hire more models for these clickbait thumbnails..
Love

House literally falling apart, Froride: lemme spend all my time on polishing my new derailleur cage!
Yeah.. there may or may not have been some discussions about that
Welcome back A-fro! Missed your content
Why thank you kindly
Love the vids mate, will give you one major tip i found, oven cleaner! Takes off anodising in no time :) Cheers from Ireland
Ah hey Murphy!
Yeah was also thinking about some soaking method's, would definetely use that if I wanted to clear the whole part from color. :)
Would remove much of the grinding work for sure!
Thanks for watching!
it's helpful, thanks
You should polish the linkage next
Ohhhh, hell yes I should! Legit a good idea
you should try this with black alu rims? DT Swiss Chrome rims? silver nipples, silver spokes.........droooool
It's been 1 year since the video was published, is the part rust?
It has 100% rusted off and I'm now officially a singlespeed rider
I did this with my bike frame, would not recommend if you're not a masochist
That takes some golden patience haha, result was nice though?
@@Frorideism yeah, though probably not worth the effort lol
And it will corrode and pitting with shitty look soon. Anodizing is there for a reason!
Yeah it’s going to look shitty for sure, but let’s forget about that and admire how it looks when indoors ok!
@@Frorideism you can use everbrite as a good clear coat for polished aluminium
though if don't bathe the thing in salt it will fine, it'll only tarnish a tiny amount then stop (well, my frame does anyway)
@@robinrai4973 Yeah for this one I didn't really care since I'm probably bashing it into a rock sooner rather than later,
But for like a frame or if I do the linkage will def do a clearcoat, 👍
@@Frorideism I haven't yet put the clear coat on my frame, it's been a year and it looks pretty much the same
I didn't go completely mirror finish polished though, just mostly shiny (also haven't ridden in salt or drip sweat)
@@robinrai4973 Ah I see, yeah I mean if you have a more "brushed" look it probably should be OK like you said.
The clear coat on my cranks wore off after just a few weeks and they look fine, shitty clear coat quality though but I guess cranks do take a lot of rubbing from the shoes.
Mouthful of a job. Lol
Ssshhh
