I see already the Paint coming of my V80 Rod.
On the Carbon rod there are aluminum rails to guide the Handle and the Arm rest
However there is already wear on those parts just from touching my Hoody for maybe 3 Hours.
Quest told me that it's normal wear, but after this short amount of detecting time I'm very disappointed.
They told me they will improve the Process of the plating of the Aluminum part for the future.
Hello Bhorst, thanks for the sharing. Yes the aluminium bar might wear after certain movement.
We tried to use anodize it with black color but the bar won't stay on the carbon fiber groove. So we can only paint it
The ridge desgin took huge amount of work. Each carbon fiber tube reqiures hand assembling to be perfect. We found the original un-painted aluminium bar stick with the carbon fiber groove most.
The new production all comes with original silver looks.
To archive most compact and flat-foldable feature, this is the best solution. But we will try to fiqure out better solution in the future.
Best
Jason
