Bike Brake
Posted on Saturday, October 30, 2010 in Bike Parts
What is the best thing to remove rust from the bike chain and brake cables.?
We left our bikes out in the rain and now they are rusty. The brake cable wont engage and the chains are all rusty. Is there a tried and true method that would save me some money or elbow grease?
Coke will eat the rust off and then you can lube the cables with a good Teflon based lube, but replacing them is really the safest course. No brakes is just not fun and when you consider the hassle-factor of all the other things, replacement is not that expensive. Good Luck!
