........by the end of this year by the EU. Really? Seems to be all over 'Yew Toob'. One question. Why would what the EU dictates affect the UK now? Asking for a friend. Answers on a postcard.... As you were.

if its just the chrome then its not the end of the world, personally I wouldnt bother with the chrome anyway, its the nickel that you can see, the chrome is a clear coat (when its gone off) on top.
if they are banning copper and nickel plating then thats upsetting...

If you can stomach this guy's presenting style (voice extremities) it makes an interesting watch. Let us know your thoughts Paul.

Panic buying a set of silencers! Still got grabrails to get done. May be painting some silencers black, as I've 2 sets functional but poor chrome. (Not to worry, they are obviously tackling the low hanging political fruit . If those politicians programme AI's, they will come to the conclusion people should be banned as they are a hazard to themselves, as they do activities. We still pump millions of watts of Radio Frequency radiation into the atmosphere, close to microwave frequency, and apparently it works differently in the atmosphere, and doesn't heat the water vapour there . Oh well don't worry (from this hard wired computer).
Microwave ovens at home or in restaurants operate at frequencies of about 2.45 GHz, i.e. λ = 12. 23 cm.
Wi-Fi most commonly uses the 2.4 gigahertz (120 mm) UHFRadio waves are reflected, absorbed, scattered, refracted, and diffracted by the atmospheric conditions that they encounter, such as clouds and precipitation.
Never heard any more from that professor who put that article out a few years ago .)

interesting video Nick, despite the voice, one area I cant comment on is the 'hard chrome' .
I think this guy though is not understanding the plating process, there seems to be a tendency to think chrome is the shiny silver stuff that we see, its not, thats the nickel (and as someone who has polished it off I can testify its bloody hard stuff) the chrome itself is as I said before just a clear coat on top. chances are if you've gone over that set of handlebars (or whatever) with some autosol a few times the chrome itself will have gone, its also easily removed with caustic soda.
I'm guessing that the hard chrome must be a more durable finish (in our case for fork tubes and rear shock damper rods) and I wonder how it works? do they go with a heavy nickel plate and then grind back to the correct tolerance and then (using experience) apply the chrome finish? it would be interesting to know...
