Had my sprocket from west garage anodized and I fitted the chain today.
Thought I would post these before I go off to work (nightshift).

looks excellent but are those bolts long enough? it looks like the bolt thread doesn't protrude from the lock nut.

They do by about 2 threads.

Looking good!


What effect does anodizing have on the material? Will it make it more prone to wear?

I don't think so. It just gives better anti-corrosion properties.

quite the opposite:

What is the purpose of anodizing?

The purpose of anodizing is to form a layer of aluminum oxide that will protect the aluminum beneath it. The aluminum oxide layer has much higher corrosion and abrasion resistance than aluminum.

Nice to know that it is not just to make it pretty then!
