If no improvement I will get them hard anodized. From what I have seen here though I doubt results will be any better after the 10 hours.
So are our Sachs fork outers not already hard anodized? If so I can't see that fixing the problem unless they are just doing a piss poor job of anodizing them. As I stated earlier my shock had 40hrs when I revalved it and the anodizing inside it was still perfect all still looked new so that leads me to believe Sachs knows how to put on a good anodized finish.
The stepped wear pattern my inner tubes have on the lower edge where the bushings contact them leads me to believe the bushings are not floating and moving on the inner tube freely as they should causing stiction and binding resulting in the rapid wear.
But I don't know. Just trying to figure out the root cause of the problem.
