Hard Chroming and Regrind of Fork Stanchions - Dynasurf, Sandbach.
MCTID:
I was 'half expecting' the £135 they quoted to have VAT added to the total, but their E Mail response when I enquired said:
QUOTE - '£135.00 is the total inclusive price to re-chrome a pair of standard fork stanchions. If you require carriage back to you, that is an additional £12.00'........and that's what I paid.
If other sohc Members are going to use Dynasurf.....we might get a Club Discount.....if you ask upfront..........who knows ?
I also sent Dynasurf an E Mail to say that I had recommended their services on the sohc Forum.

From memory the article advised paying the bit extra and using Phillpots but I a wracking my old brain now to remember which magazine it was in or who the other company was. Will look tonight. Certainly interested if they are coming recommended though.

Possible the mag was getting a kick back from Philpotts though Ash, or a cheap job on a project of theirs for a positive review. Hard chrome is hard chrome, the chrome is the same but the job done may be slightly superior I suppose.

Yes quite possible Ken and it may not have been Dynasurf anyway

One big factor in the quality of the job is the grinding.. yes chrome is chrome but the surface finish of the final grinding can be very poor i.e. too coarse. I have seen some reground forks that you could file your nails on....
