Bleach has fooked my alloy hub Tuff's....

<< < (4/9) > >>

ron burgundy:
 I had a white set that did that, I left them in the tub for about 2 weeks :-\

It's time to get your polishing kit out...

bmxbob:
Doh, wet n dry mate. then get a big as* shiney sprocket to hide the rest.
nowt wrong with tesco value bleach but i use vaseline for the hubs  :daumenhoch: , think you ve just been unlucky.

QUADROPHENIA:


i got one out the back in bleach at the minute, gave it a 30 minute blast of neat bleach, started eating the hub even tho its covered in grease, caught it just in time, watered  it right down now and washing and re greasing it every night, only put it back in the bleach when i am around to keep an eye on it

sonic-1:
if yer goin to use grease to protect the hub use a waterproof one!!!!!!!! lithum grease will absorbe water  :shocked: use bns grease or something else

funkyfresh:
cheers for all the advice guys...

a quick rub with wet n dry has made a marked improvement. will post some pics soon.
next up is a dremmel type polishing kit to polish the erroded bits that are too deep to wet n dry...

2 questions:

1/ Can you get replacment alloy hubs? from where? Quick search of google and ebay completed listings revealed nowt...
2/ anyone know how big a dia an 18t freehweel is? Not sure whether it would cover much more than the 16t one i have already?

thanks in advance (again)
