rusty ceriani fork tube

Post by sgr »

Hello everyone !

I have discovered that the inside on one of my fork tubes is rusty. No idea how water got in there. Any ideas on how to clean it up ? I know that some of the forum members here have great suggestions :-D


Cheers

Serge

Split the Leg, clean the tube as best you can {{ fill if petrol covering the ends with your hands and shake }} buy some scotch brite and a small wooding round rod cut a slot in the end to take the scotch brite stick the other end in a drill and away you go, this will remove most of the fine rust inside of the tube.
If the inside of the tube has flaking rust you may want to send it out to get chemical cleaned
