Rear sprocket + Top of fork cleaning?
Sprocket on rear wheels a bit 'weathered' looking any ideas on what can get it shiny again?
Plus the top of the forks near the yoke have some rusty spots showing, what can be done to clear these up and protect it? Cheers for any advice.

Get the rear wheel off and pull the sprocket carrier out then wd40 and an old tooth brush and a rag to mop up will clean it up nice maybe aided by a wire brush.
Forks - autosol and a bit of elbow grease ( or a dremmel type tool with a polishing mop) |
