In regards to aluminum , it should be noted that all Al that is used in everything is not the same . Some is anodized , which is a chemical process that makes it's surface relatively inert . I say relatively only because acids and highly caustic chemicals can compromise it. Skin contact , cooking and such normal intended use does not at all. So all Al pots and pans are not to be lumped together. Some are anodized , some are not . Price is a good indicator , and of course the surface of the "raw" non anodized ones can rub off in your hands with rubbing and in cooking in can impart a yucky taste sometimes while anodized does not . Some bike parts are like this too. Seatposts are almost always anodized for example. Hubs , especially older ones may not.
The Canfield Al pedals do appear to be anodized , for one brand example. You can tell by the look of the surface of the colored ones. Regardless , We are all perfectly alright , right Here Right Now, whatever we choose . True faith is truly blind , blind to circumstance , to all fears, to all conditions, to anything contrary to Infinite Well Being . Even the seemingly small mustard seed has complete faith in it's brilliance :) On Thursday, September 17, 2015 at 7:32:04 AM UTC-4, Michael Hechmer wrote: > > Deacon, pardon me for jumping in so late in the conversation.
