Removing triple plated chrome

[mpierich]

inevr try to remove chrome by blasting or sanding on aluminium parts .
in my opinion it is a complete waste of time , waste of material , and like NOL4154 says it will deform and damage aluminium
any chrome parts that needs to be stripped i let the plating shops take care of it

Hey...I bought my bike in SC, near the ocean. The aluminum risers were badly plated and peeling. I took my pocketknife and peeled off all the plating in big sheets, then polished the risers.

Now that's the way to remove chrome!

Yeah, that's been happening a lot lately. Seems the newbies can't resist building their post count.
