| Jun 27, 2013 at 19:21 | comment | added | Carson Reinke | @DanielRHicks Any specific procedure? Or just soak for awhile? | |
| Jun 25, 2013 at 19:27 | comment | added | Daniel R Hicks | Oxalic acid is probably the best choice for removing rust. Available from paint stores as "wood bleach". | |
| Jun 25, 2013 at 19:25 | comment | added | Daniel R Hicks | @amcnabb - But a tiny amount of dihydrogen monoxide likely caused the rust in the first place. | |

| Jun 24, 2013 at 19:45 | comment | added | PeteH | I'm saying that its the start of the process. Surely better to nip things in the bud? | |
| Jun 24, 2013 at 17:43 | comment | added | amcnabb | @CarsonReinke Chemophobia is a pretty serious problem in our society. When most people talk about avoiding chemicals, they're referring to whether they're "natural", not whether they're safe. | |
| Jun 24, 2013 at 17:41 | comment | added | Carson Reinke | @PeteH Are you suggesting that any rust is a weakness in the part? | |
| Jun 24, 2013 at 17:37 | comment | added | Carson Reinke | @amcnabb Cute, but use some common sense here. Just looking for something that does not cause some sort of hazmat situation. | |
| Jun 24, 2013 at 17:32 | comment | added | PeteH | If I had a cassette with rust on it I would likely replace it. If I had nuts and bolts with rust on them I would definitely replace. But its a reasonable enough question since I can easily imagine you might get surface rust on your frame. | |
| Jun 24, 2013 at 17:32 | comment | added | amcnabb | What do you mean by "chemicals"? Chemicals like dihydrogen monoxide can be dangerous in large quantities, but you can't avoid them entirely. | |
