Hi all, I have a few small bike bits which need rechroming, does anyone know of somewhere local which will dip these? :)

Lightning Services on Hilperton Marsh Farm can get chrome plating done for you.
Not in house, he uses S&T over in Bristol, but it's the same price so saves you the petrol.

We were discussing getting frames done at Bath Classic this week but no one mentioned chrome. I'll ask around.

I've heard of S&T before. They are ment to be very, very good, but not the cheapest. But I supppose you get what you pay for.

Only have a few small bits to be done but they quoted me the minimum £50 costs to do them... :-?

I'll have a hunt, see if there is anything I need chroming. Anyone else want to make a batch up???

If that could be done, we'll divvy the cost up.

I've got a few bits in bad need of chroming, but I'd have to find a period when I don't actually need them......kinda hard to ride without wheels :-?

By 'small items' I imagined it was footrests or a torque arm, or something.
Why on earth would you want to re-chrome two washers and a nut?! They probably quoted high to put you off.
Nip down to Stevens and get replacements in stainless and polish them up.

These are Honda parts, namely the rear sprocket retainer washer & circlip and are no longer made/available, hence the fuss... ;)
