dannywhiteley:
I had an old rusty reflector bracket I removed from an mtb, and just to try it I popped it in a tub of my favourite sarsonns pickling vinegar half in, half out for 24 hours.  I pulled it out earlier and wiped it off and the bit that was submerged has come out spotless, the rest obviously still think with rust.

Dont want the bracket, but it was a nice little experiment.

markyp:
good thread andy,im in the same boat with my gusset goose!!! :D

munners:
oxalic is the only way imo.

Kaner:
Out of interest. Would vinegar damage paint on a mx 1000 brake if left in for 24 hours? I need to clean the surface rust off the cable fixing. Cheers Ben

bigsman:
I haven't tried oxalic yet but its not the cheapest and it means ebay which is a ballache.  Tried vinegar and it worked not bad but I'm hearing good things about Citric acid has anyone here tried it?  How does it compare to oxalic?  Seems to be cheaper and easier to get hold of...think thats gonna be my next experiment!
