Nice work Alex, despite what people think of the color that was an original idea to send the stanchions out for a coating like that. I work for a company that does proprietary surface finishes for industrial applications (unlike simply painting the process actually impregnates the finish into whatever is being prepped). A cross between anodizing and maybe powder coating because the finish is usually not a liquid but a fine grain powder. In any case its very interesting and I'm curious to know how you think it compares to stock in regards to stiction and longevity.

thanks terminusavid , what can I say it's that the coating make the fork more sensitive, my bushings were dead and so it damaged the stantions but the fork have still a better reaction than all the other stock boxxer I have tested, in terme of longevity I can't say anything because my shity bushings damaged my stantions.

what coating is it?? there should be coloured kashima! white fox 36's with black stantions 3

Looks like hard anodising. There's plenty of places in the u.k that do this sort of thing.

alex16trail (Jan 29, 2011 at 6:07)

And how does this work?

crossi (Dec 28, 2011 at 9:59)

i think that he coated them. some suspension tuners from the motocross scene do that.

its teflon coating

joemo5 (Apr 20, 2012 at 20:45)

Highly doubt its any sort of teflon coating. Never seen any teflon colored that way, its usually grey or brown. I would agree thats its a hard anodized coating that would improve performance by reducing friction.

alex16trail (Apr 22, 2012 at 15:29)

it's a hard anodized coating with a teflon impregnation exactly

nouser (Oct 19, 2011 at 12:03)

doxx (Jan 29, 2011 at 21:52)

alex16trail (Jan 30, 2011 at 0:11)

Jacko6793 (Dec 29, 2011 at 6:59)

The-Medic (Mar 29, 2012 at 12:02)

Are the stanchions made of salt??? I think you meant "ANO-dized" mate

Jacko6793 (Mar 29, 2012 at 15:10)

haha yep was doing about ionic solutions at school when i wrote that

The-Medic (Mar 30, 2012 at 12:33)

HAHAHA Well then there ya go aye... O-Chem???

nouser (May 20, 2012 at 20:12)
