Rust on Bicycle Chrone & Removal

[Yuri]

Just wondering if anyone has a quick fix for removal of rust from my 10 speed bicycle, namely on the chrome portion of handlebars...and ways/means to prevent re-occurance.

try an sos pad to remove the rust then apply fluid film with a rag works everytime.

If it is chrome here is an old, old remedy.

It really works and is very inexpensive.

Get a damp rag and rub in a little dirt from your flower garden. Then rub down the chrome and you will see all of the rust come off.

After simply clean with some fresh water, and Bingo!!! All gone.

Your welcolme

CLR to clean it up. Store your bike indoors to prevent it. Rust is caused due to exposure to the elements. If your bike does get wet, wipe it down.
My only other suggestion would be to upgrade your bike. 10 speed bikes have all but gone the way of the dinosaur. You can get a good quality 21 speed full suspension bike from places like Canadian Tire or SportChek, which will be much more comfortable too.

I just leave my bikes inside and never ride them in the rain and if by accident I take them out in the rain or get stuck in rain I immediatly dry them off with paper towel. I've never gotten a bit of rust on my bikes yet. But, if I ever do thanks for the hints.

Stacey, does your bicycle seat ever get moist?

What do you do about it?

If your bike still has chrome handlebars it's time to get a new one. Everything alu or carbon fiber, no rust problems.

USe "rust eater" .. which is also known as Navel Jelly.. available in the car body repair areas

apparently Coke-cola works as well

Fireplace ash is mostly metal, because metal won't burn.

Metal won't burn, that's true, but what are you throwing into your fireplace besides wooden logs?


You have to be careful with anything too abrasive because it will scratch the chrome finish also.

 

[A-ROD]

Buy a new bike...

 

[Meister]

Just wooden logs or charchol.

That stuff turns into metal in your fireplace? Awesome.

Naval Jelly and follow the directions. Advoid getting it on any painted surfaces.

The best part about fireplace ash is that it is free and non toxic.

Non toxic ....maybe you'd like to eat it, but I won't!!!!
