Exploded view of front brake caliper. |
The Huffy 10-Speed Refurb is starting to come together as I get all the pieces cleaned in my spare time and I gotta say it's coming out way better than expected with the chrome pieces shining up nicely.
Here's a before and after shot of the front brake:
Before: Covered in crud. |
After: Bling! |
The bike's chrome and spokes had a covering of hardened oil or some other kind of lubricant with a coating of grime on top.
Wouldn't have had these results without using brass wire brushes to remove the bulk of the crud, and then a final polish with Mother's Mag & Aluminum Polish.
Disclaimer: Always use eye protection with spinning wire brushes!
WARNING: Always wear eye protection when using wire brushes on drills! |
