Why are STREET TERRA and Yella Terra rockers not anodised to nice colours?
Anodising degrades the aluminium reducing its tensile strength and reducing the life cycle of the arm. An anodised arm is weaker! Anodising is an electrochemical process that produces a clear or coloured coating on the rocker arm. This coating is extremely hard and is “notch sensitive”. Even slight “dings” from careless handling or slight scratches like those from feeler gauges can cause a “stress riser” precipitating cracking and subsequent arm failure.
