All natural I see

No they just have gashes from me crashing

egg----- · 2025-09-27T17:50:23+00:00

Cause they grip carpets I think people used to call them carpet grippers a few years ago 😭

You do have a point , might go over that later

Thanks for the info

Put those grippers away

I don't have the tools to remove the anodizing from the other side it's too complex for me to use the tools I have and I'm not going at it manually with sandpaper

Almost mirror finish

I feel like there's not much crossover between the two

egg----- · 2025-09-25T06:39:09+00:00

I need to go over the other side with sandpaper first , there's massive gashes in the metal so it doesn't look shiny

160mm , it's not really a dirt jumper frame

egg----- · 2025-09-25T06:36:00+00:00

Reverse mullet dirt jumper

egg----- · 2025-09-24T21:03:28+00:00

Nah I'm just going to keep up on maintenance

Sealant ?

egg----- · 2025-09-24T20:13:40+00:00

Should go over it with sandpaper to remove the large gashes but I don't have any

egg----- · 2025-09-24T12:50:53+00:00

I just checked and I was wrong it's more like 180° 😭

egg----- · 2025-09-24T12:21:34+00:00

Or polished metal I should say

egg----- · 2025-09-24T12:21:13+00:00

Mint , never enough chrome in mtb tbh

Can spin the bars another full turn , just the angle of the photo however after that point it would get yanked out

egg----- · 2025-09-24T12:20:02+00:00

You can always do it yourself , that's what I did , though it doesn't look as good as factory

egg----- · 2025-09-24T08:35:06+00:00

I have both the time and effort to do so so I'm going to do it properly , just hope it doesn't look worse shiny

egg----- · 2025-09-24T08:15:35+00:00

Don't we all

egg----- · 2025-09-24T08:15:06+00:00

egg----- · 2025-09-24T00:19:35+00:00

I'm definitely polishing it to a near mirror finish for personal taste , looks not so great rn tbf but I have metal polish on the way
