How to Remove Surface Rust on Chrome

Don't know how many motorcyclists are here.... But I used some Honda Spray Cleaner Polish and it works as good on the biike as it does on our motorcycles!!! Great for cleaning, polishing, and chrome clean up!...

Don't use a water hose unless there is heavy mud or sand on your bike. The water will enter cables, shifters, derailleurs, hubs, bottom brackets, and cassettes. The only way to dry these components is with compressed air, and not all of have access to an air compressor. Remove all dirt easily with pre soaked wipes. Use a separate wipe to clean the chain. Cleaning ropes are extremely useful to clea...

Hi, I'm new to this but I want to dive in head-first. I've searched these forums but not found answers adequate enough for my level of curiosity. Please humor me! My first project is a Giant Sedona LX I've had for a few years that I want to clean, tune-up, and sell for some extra cash. I'm wondering, first of all, how I can get the cassette nice and shiny. I know it's not particularly necessar...

Has anyone found a good method to clean/flush sand out of a chain? Living near the beach we see it all too often but I've yet to find a good way to clean it out, anyone got any tips?...

Ok I wanna hear some tips on polishing aluminum? Anything and everything please ?...

Well to begin I found this Columbia Roadster in the woods today and I think it would be really awesome bike to recondition. Based off what I can find on google this probably a 1970 bike (If anyone can confirm or deny that would be much appreciated!) Here are some photos of what I'm dealing with. I'd like to recondition the bike as opposed to doing a full restore and paint it. Can anyone give me...

Hey guys, What kind of rags do you use? I tend to use dish cloths because that's generally all I can find. Go to any automotive shop or bike shop and they don't seem to stock mechanic specific rags. The problem I find with dish cloths is that small hairs seem to come off of them when for instance, wiping bolt threads clean ready for re-greasing, so sometimes small hairs can get caught up in the...

I recently picked up a Trek 1000 and got a good deal on it but the frame could use a really good cleaning. Only problem is I dont know what to use to get this stuff off with. If there is anything that will. Wanted to get a few opinions before I jumped in and started using something that would do more harm than good. Here is what I am talking about. ...

My wife just bought a Wagner steam cleaner that cuts through dirt and grease very well. We used to use steam to clean engine blocks and such, so I was wondering if there would be any reason not to use it to clean greasy drive trains, etc. Of course everything would have to be properly lubed afterward, but the steamer warms the part so they dry amazingly fast....

Was just looking on eBay and came across this bike that had been restored [broken_link] He says that electrolysis was used to remove rust! How’s this done and is it effective, anyone have any info on the process and is it possible to do at home? cheers....

Hi folks, It's been a few months since I was on the forum. Sorry about that. Transition to a new company and ramp up have occupied most of my free time. Everyone knows that bike clothes aren't cheap. I've noticed recently that after ~3000 miles the last 1.5 years on my road bike, some of my clothes aren't getting clean in the wash. How does one get grease and road grime out of brightly color...

Was taking the old tape off a my handlebars and noticed how shiney the aluminum was on the area of the brakes that was covered with tape. Any way of restoring the old exposed areas back to the original shine?...

Ryan here, I’m averaging around 100-150 Miles every two weeks (commuter on a new Specialized Secteur). My questions are in regard to tune-ups / cleaning and frequency. First – I was told not to use harsh cleaners on the bike. Is Noxon 7 (link below) considered “harsh?” http://www.acehardware.com/product/index.jsp?productId=1418968 Second – Rumor also has it that waxing the bike (lik...
