What if one were to hide a sacrificial zinc anode down in the seat tube? Or does it not work like that?

many bike do not made that way any more it just one part touch the other part and then just weld it so that mean no hollow pipe connect to each other any more i wish they do make like the very old way so that i can use wd40 to do anti rust on the inside of the pipes

It's one of my traits, something I guess that I may have unconsciously picked up from one of my boyhood heroes Magnus Pyke. I guess it's one of the things that makes me unique, rather than trying to confirm to other people's expectations of how I should behave. Thank you for pointing out my idiosyncracy. I am now aware of it and proud of it. 💕

Very good job, I have a question to ask you and I hope you can help me: I have to make a copy of a motorcycle gas tank sticker, the tank has a curved shape and my problem comes when I trace the design directly from the I deposit and then I scan it, when printing the sticker the measurements do not correspond to the original, I imagine it will be due to the curved shape of the deposit... how do you handle these designs? Thank you.

Good idea, but have to admit, I was wary of putting anything acidic in the frame. I did actually try electrolysis, which worked really well in getting rid of the rust. However, due to storage issues I had to get rid of the tank I used before I had chance to do a video. ☹️

I'm lucky as I have a seat tube reamer. It's an adjustable reamer. In your situation I would ream the seat tube then spray some GT85 (or the like) further down the tube, keeping away from the area that actually does the clamping. Often, a bit of rust residue on the seat post isn't too much to worry about.

In the vintage bicycle preservation world many people use double boiled linseed oil because it penetrates the existing corrosion and polymerizes when dry, essentially sealing it.

@dunnotck1 Жыл бұрын

Hello, could you please explain this process? I have this linseed oil I use for woodwork and an old bike with rust inside the frame

@DRY-C0WB0Y Жыл бұрын

@@dunnotck1~ For the inside you’ll just have to get it in through whatever holes are available, plug those holes, and tumble it around until you feel like it has had a chance to touch every surface (which means you’ll need to use an excess amount). Then set it up to drain the excess for a day or so. Use a sponge to catch the initial drips if you are worried about it running onto other parts of the frame, but keep an eye on the sponge and remove it when the majority of the drips stop. Each section will have a different drain point so you’ll have to do it in pieces- likely top and down tubes, chain stays, seat stays, and seat mast will all drain in different directions. You may want to start the process by swishing some Evaporust around inside the frame also, draining, and giving the remaining Evaporust a couple of days chance to evaporate in a warm environment. However, I would only add this step if you feel like water has sat inside the frame. For the outside it’s just a matter of getting the patina to the stage you want it at before applying with a rag, wiping off the excess. It should be dried in a warm environment which may take up to a week or two to completely set. *DISPOSE OF THE RAG PROPERLY TO AVOID COMBUSTION. The oil is flammable! Do not ball it up and throw it in the trash, or you are asking for a fire. Open it up and hang over something to dry completely.* When the oil has dried, buff the surface and repeat as needed. It may only need some spot application and another buff, if anything. Finish with a coat of beeswax.

@martynburns1833 Жыл бұрын

Cromoloy is a good quality steel. If you have it from new and you look after your bike you shouldn't have a problem. (A spray inside the tubes with GT85 every six months or so.) If the history of the frame is more unknown I'd do what I've done, or one of the other methods suggested in the comments.

Hi Amir. You should be able to buy the Peugeot decal that you need online. There's 5 pages of different decals here h-lloyd-cycles.myshopify.com/pages/search-results-page?q=Peugeot&tab=products&page=1 These are generally wet transfers rather than stickers. If you want to maintain authenticity this is probably the best way forward. If you have any other questions let me know.

Hi Will. Glad it was of help. Most print shops should be able to do the stickers for you. I use someone off eBay. I searched Custom Vinyl Stickers, then made sure they were contour cut in the description. Give the guys a ring and explain what you're after, confirm the colour for the cut line (normally magenta) then send them the vector image. I get an area of 3' by 8" (with as many stickers as I can fit on it) for £15 (approx $20).

Boil the engine oil, pour it hot, and it will be baked to the metal for many years. It's the way how an old-timers would do it on their cars.

Is it safe to boil it?

@RetroGamingLite 23 күн бұрын

Yes because oil acts as a coolant inside an engine when it's hot. You don't want to touch it obviously but it's not going to explode or anything.

To remove paint and rust on frames before repainting, I've used a flap wheel on an old power drill clamped into the bench (or hand held with the frame clamped). Works well and no little wires flying out to stab you.

I've just done a Triumph (aka Raleigh) Twenty and it had those little drain holes all over the frame. In fact one job was freeing those up. It also had holes in the down tube to all the rear brake and gear cable to travel through the tube. Neat tip though - another to add to the bike repair/restoring toolkit.

You can Drill Small Holes in the Seatstays, Chainstays and Fork Blades and Lube up EVERY Nook and Cranny of the Internals of a Steel or Alloy Frame. Best Drill a Hole in the Middle of the BB Shell as Well, for Water Drainage. Also Best to Drill Holes RIGHT at the Bottom of the Fork Blades, Chainstays next to the BB Shell and Seatstays where they're Brazed/Welded to the Dropouts. This Way any CONDENSATION can Drain out.
