But what about the guys who don't have the Pro2s, cause those ones are already loud. Sorry i'm done polluting the thread, my statements aren't going to go anywhere productive.

If you know what You're doing, it takes less than a half hour from start to finish, with chain tensioned and all. And this is a quick question thread where we can discuss the pros and cons of anything dj/street related, and your question surely qualifies.

thanks. know another question. would it benefit running full shimano in a drivetrain, or is it still alright to runs like sram rear shifter, derailleur and cassette with a regular chain and hone cranks? the reason i ask is b/c people always talk about sram being so good, but dont want truvativ cranks, so i'm getting hones.

If it weakened bike parts significantly then companies wouldn't run the risk and offer anodized parts.

anodizing a part after being bought, material threatment can be different when done by companies before selling the products

It's not any different than if the company who made the stem did it. Anodizing doesn't require any pre-treatment that has an effect on material strength (like heat treating). If you get the stem anodized at a professional anodizing place, you'll probably get a better finish and deeper colour than if the stem manufacturer did it, because they would try to cut the costs down and do a really cheap job.

That is true. So I'll suggest the same thing I suggest to anyone when it comes to coating questions, ask a professional. Whether its finding a website that discusses anodizing or asking the person who's going to be doing the work on your parts.
