[QUOTE="oexing, post: 142690, member: 1493"] Hi Vincent, the inchroming process looks great and seems to be the solution when pairing stainless with bronce bushes in girders. The "easier" way is just have common 18/10 ss and Permaglide or IGUS plastic bushes . The IGUS material J is available in rounds and low cost when not having ready made bushes. So in girder overhauls it may be simpler to turn bushes and ream to sizes after pressing in for alignment. So for IGUS stuff no big difference between hardchrome or plain stainless. Yes, my choice of titanium for various spindles and studs was for weight saving, not for racing but for old age of driver. I hope to keep weight below 200 kg when finished. Titanium is not so perfect for IGUS but I don´t expect to do 100 000 km with the bikes at my age so no factor of a bit more wear as compared to stainless. Luckily in Ebay there are Chinese sellers of titanium grade 5 so yes, we can ! Vic rolled M 8 titanium stud [ATTACH type="full"]43846[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
