says CR-Mo. So... hmm
There's no problem chrome plating CrMo steel (see all those chrome 4130 BMX frames), it's just not likely to be worth doing from an economic standpoint.
gbj_tester-
Yea sorry the ‘hmm’ was more, it’s possible but I trust that if you say it’s £££, then it’s £££. Also a totally unnecessary impact on the environment.
But indeed, they’re on a chromed GT bmx, a small but significant upgrade.
They already have a shoddy quick ‘chrome’ rattlecanning. Maybe I’ll make do.

@mdcc_tester oh lame.
@JurekB pretty sure steel.
Suppose that’s partly why rrp on ‘chrome’ bmx pedals are double or triple their nearest (painted) neighbour?
They’re 8-splined bmx cranks. Just checked the original bike spec that they came from, says CR-Mo. So... hmm.
Suppose I had better pay up for a rare 10-spline 19mm spindle from the USA, for the actual chrome pair in the parts box.
