Hello,
Does anyone know about group rides in Nonthaburi? I've seen a group on Chaiyaphruek and Ratchaphruek roads Tuesday and Thursday evenings but that was a long time ago. I would like to know has anyone got a contact number? or does anyone know where they meet/what time?
Thanks everyone, have a great Songkhran!

Titanium Nitride Fork Stanchions

I saw this finish on a bike at the Bangkok bike show and really like it, great contrast with a blacked out bike
I just got word back from Richco in Chiang Mai that they can't do it maybe some one knows where i could look now?
A coating frequently applied to dirt bike fork tubes and shock shafts is Titanium Nitride. Titanium nitride (TiN) is gold in color, and is an extremely hard ceramic material deposited on metal surfaces as a very thin film. The most common method of Titanium Nitride thin film creation on steel is physical vapor deposition (PVD). With this method, pure titanium is converted into a gas, reacted with nitrogen in a high-energy, vacuum environment, and deposited on metal as a thin film. Titanium Nitride reduces friction, and when used on steel has a coefficient of friction of 0.3. As a reference point, steel on steel has a coefficient of friction of 0.7.
Titanium Nitride provides the benefit of a hard surface barrier against nicks, scratches, and sand lines. However, the limitation is that it is non-flexible and brittle. If the fork tube or shock shaft is ever bent or deformed, the Titanium Nitride is prone to crack and then flake off. This increases friction. As well it creates a rough surface that prematurely wears fork and shock seals, resulting in oil leakage.
