Calipers
Hi guys, couple of questions regarding calipers.
1) anyone used Deox concentrate to get rid of surface rust on the bobbins? I saw a you tube video which gave fantastic results. 2) I know you are supposed to use new calipers bolts, but do people do that? What about giving them a clean and applying blue threadlock, then torqued up? Thanks |

Re: Calipers
Cheers Dave, it’s an old bike I have just bought. Plenty of thickness just a bit unsightly and wanted to clean them up. I will also be checking for any warp with a DTI

Re: Calipers
You can leave them in some old brake fluid. Then the rust/corrosion comes off pretty easy with a wire brush.
