I've been messing with bikes my whole life I don't know how many times I have painted over rusty chrome and threw rusty chains away.
Two weeks ago I tried the trick of Ceramic Stove Top Cleaner on a rusty springer I had laying around. It took quite abit of rubbing with a scotch brite pad, but to my suprise it worked

Today I threw a rusted up chain in a bottle of vinager thinking no way this is going to work. I just pulled it from the bottle and it looks brand new :lol:

I would have never discovered these tips without reading them here.

Just wanted to say thanks to the people who share their ideas on this great forum.

Just wait till you discover Oxalic Acid AKA wood bleach....

Also another tip for getting stubborn grips off without risk of stabbing your hand with a screwdriver or damaging hard to find grips. Place a 7/8 wrench over the handlebar next to the grip and tap it with a hammer. The grip comes off easily with no damage. :wink:

That's right, you won't get rich off it anyway, so pass it along. Here's another one of mine: Use a small padlock instead of a nut and bolt on your one speed coaster brake clip. Then no one can steal your wheel, just remember where you left the key.

I like using wd 40 under the grips to help remove them or running them under really hot water both work great for me

Those work but most times with WD-40 you have to wash out the grips before you re-install them or they will slide on the bars and not grip.

Yeah the few times Ive used wd40 it took like 2 weeks for the grips to stop moving.
