Alright, I would like to polish my kh 08 trials rim to mirror finish,
along with some koxx cranks. I'm not 100% sure how, I have access to
drills and grinders, so maybe a wire brush? If so, what kind? I'd like
to know for sure before hacking my unicycling up. Also, would this work
for my kh 08 frame?
As I said, I'm wanting to polish these parts, so I don't want them to
have extremely coarse surfaces.
Thanks for the help.
I searched.

I am thinking of doing my K1 cranks with oven cleaner, but I have one
question:
Will de-anodizing remove enough material to make the crank loose on the
hub? I don't think it will but i just want to make sure before I start.
I don't think a clear coat will be needed, as the cranks have a raw
logo on them, and being on the cranks, it would just rub off anyway.

Again it has been a long time since I have done it so keep that in
mind.
I removed the anodizing from a pair of Sugino Maxi Cross cranks once
and they never had a problem with fitting tight on the spindle. It
didn't really seem as if metal was coming off of the cranks, just the
color.
If you've got some old aluminum part laying around you should probably
try it before you commit your nice stuff to it.

Thanks for the tips guys, I'm going to buy some oven cleaner today or
tomorrow, so I will see how it all works out and hopefully post up some
pics.
Thanks again,
Mal.
