The old-style Karpiel stickers without the black borders might look nice.kidwoo said:You guys decide on what the downtube stickers are going to say yet?

Check out the steel gray with nickel plated links...4rizzlemynizzle
I wouldn't think that it would make any difference - it's just a super-thin coat. Anodized links don't have any trouble, and the nickel plating isnt really any thicker than ano.Jimmy_Pop said:the nickel looks alot like black crome. nice touch.
does nickel plating alter the bearing tolerance at all ? Can i nickel plate my existing linkage and still pop my bearing back in without using a BFH ?
You got that right...when are they going to make it east?Brian HCM#1 said:Damn those look great!!!!

Does anyone know for sure which grade alloy a Disco is made from, 6061 or 7005?
I need to know for heat treatment purposes!
i'm pretty sure the proper method uses an oil quench (due to the cooling down rate being critical); sounds like this 'misting' was a way for Jan ghetto-treat his frames not having the proper equipment. Besides the proper cooling rate, you also want uniform cooling of the material, something that 'misting' doesnt exactly seem apt for.vitox said:its 6061
545deg c for 30 minutes, then quench (jan recommended warm water mist from both sides at the same time) with water or water/glycol, watch for any warping (although since you are going to be re-heat treating, the chances of that happening are a lot lower), then 180 dec celsius for 9 or 10 hours.
