Hello,
I'm a newbie and I hope this is the right place for this question, sorry if it's not. I have a fork from a Daccordi SLX frame that was damaged in a crash and I would like to replace the fork blades. The crown and steerer appear to be undamaged. My question is regarding the chrome plating. Do I have to strip the chrome before doing any brazing? If so should the stripping be done mechanically or chemically? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
