jeremyshee01 Posted September 14, 2016 Report Share Posted September 14, 2016 My question is just that. And good ideas on how to remove rust on my axel? Bought a shee to start building and the durablue has surface rust pretty bad. Not like thick flaky rust but pretty much covered.

draggins10 Posted September 14, 2016 Report Share Posted September 14, 2016 ^ lol that'll work. A little safer way would be to use a wire brush that attaches to a drill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickedcarbine Posted September 14, 2016 Report Share Posted September 14, 2016 Firm wheel and emery cake compound. Run it on a corded high speed drill if it's still on the bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trickedcarbine Posted September 15, 2016 Report Share Posted September 15, 2016 If you ride trails, the chrome gets nicks from rocks and terrain. Those nicks are where rust forms and spreads from. Even the best of chrome wouldn't stand a chance. Maybe on a duner, but even that gets hazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
