thanks. i did it but it came back worse the next day :(. On a chrome stem. maybe i damaged the chromelayer more? Ill try again and dry it properly this time...

Best of luck. The rust will always return but yes, that was really quick. Take care and happy cycling 🙂👍

@@timeforbikes guess i had to really take it apart a bit, redid it, properly cleaned and dried and then polished the metal.
But im still a bit confused as to how small dents in paint on parts like the derailleurs could be fixed without having rust come back instantly. I guess ill just pick up a small brush and repaint the bits.
Otherwise i have a freewheel where it was also hard to not have the rust return.

@@KeesFluitman unfortunately once it is cleaned of rust it is then open for it to return. This technique is only really a temporary fix. The chrome layer that is added at the factory is damaged by this point and the metal underneath is what rusts. Without some kind of repair or covering of that layer the rust will return. You would need to keep repeating this process once the rust becomes noticeable again. Obviously keep the chrome as dry as possible to help stop its return. Take care and happy cycling 🙂👍
