Goldtec track hubs

Anyone know what Goldtec track hub flanges are made of?

My rear hub has a chip in the paint work on the edge of the flange, and I'm not sure whether to touch it up with a bit of black paint or nail varnish.

allloymunuim, they are anodized not painted. good hardware shops sell tins of anodizing in various colours.

it's anodised, so suppose just find something a similar colour.
aluminium by the way

I thought anodization was a process rather than something you could get in a tin?

sorry for a moment i thought it was 1st april

anodization is a process............touch-up with paint etc ...best idea.

Just have them chromed. Gold-plated if you're chav-bred.

Black permanent marker?

Gold marker! :)

don't think you can chrome aluminium - at least i never heard of it being done.

use tin foil and glue ;)

gold leaf

green leaf - for that natural finish.

leave it flaking off. The worse your bike looks the less chance some theiving vermin will put their grubby little cum-stained sausage fingers on it. yuk, imagine those dirty burglar-germs on your steed. doesn't bear thinking about.

It's not flaking off. It's literally just a 1 sq mm patch where it's been scratched and the metal is exposed. I was more concerned about corrosion really than anything else and the hub flange failing.

oh right.
I wonder if you can buy rust paint, then one could just slosh it all over ones bicycle, thus deterring any potential interest from robbers.
