Manky looking bolts...?

No 'Hints'n'Tips' thread so sticking it in here.

I know a lot of people wonder how to sort out the corroded bolts on their bikes after winter.

One trick we use to clean up old bolts (and they come out like new), is to stick the bolt into an electric drill, wrap a bit of scotchbrite around the bolt, quick spin and a few secs later, one shiney bolt!

Certainly keeps the costs down for the customer, and the makes the bike look fresh again! Thumbs Up

The same trick can be used to polish scuffed bar ends.

Someone stupid does not realise they r stupid.stupidity is indistinguishable from malice U just have to accept that some people are thick as p1gsh1t and work around them.
