polish=rust????

[Stevie-D]

i polished my axle, and i am in the process of doing the rear brake caliper also. i know that some metals will rust bad if polished without clearcoat...so will they rust? or not?

my axle had rusted and i took sandpaper to it then about after a month of riding it rusted again, im not to worried cuz as soon as i get some money im redoin my bike

Steel=Rust

Aluminum(sp?)=no rust

only polish steel things if you can maintain them.

damn...so the axle's steel aint it? and probly the brake caliper too, and the shifter, and the brake pedal...etc....damn it:uhoh:

all those you mentioned are steel on the 400ex except for the caliper. calipers are real pains in the arse to polish though cause they have so many grooves and indentions on them. lata

Powdercoat them.

[Stevie-D]

well ive got the brake pedal and the shifter clear coated, so they are holding up well. i cant reallllly afford PCing, so i guess i'll just spray them with clearcoat
