Shop Owner Claims He Has The Ultimate Rust Restoration Guide For Bikes!

[@jrvega9559]

You can salvage about 95% of that bike. I’ve restored some that were way more beat up. I can’t wait to see the finished product! Love the video Alfredo! Phu is really awesome!

[@shaunzimmerman661]

Shouldn't use oxalic acid on aluminum. It can etch steel after a while it will eat away at the aluminum! Should use citric acid for aluminum. Awesome video. Loved seeing this. I had a 540 air also year older looked similar with no 990 mounts on straight shooter fork!

[@Junior-fd8ux]

If you have a bench grinder throw a brass wire wheel on it not metal (brass is softer and more forgiving) and you can make things like that 1pc crank look brand new in 30seconds. It’s great for cleaning hardware chrome, nickel, alloy etc. Prob wouldn’t use on chrome frame forks bars because it will tear through through the finish pretty easy so go light feel it out. I use a dermal tool with brass wire brushes on the rough pitted areas then polish with something like Flitz or Quick Glo chrome cleaner to polish and treat the area to keep from rusting again. Hope this helps anyone. Love these videos man

[@cartilagehead]

And wear some eye protection if you do this! Wire wheels, especially soft or inexpensive ones, are no joke with throwing off wires!

[@ashpunting]

I love this brother Pho he always puts a smile on my face he's funny while always keeping it real and he knows his stuff 👍🏾💙

[@krishnaram9044]

Thanks phu. Most People sand their bike with sandpaper and then give the bike another paintjob, but it's just so easy to fix! Thank you so much phu!

[@devilmyke]

I think its great giving such an original bike a new life.

[@AlfredoMancuso]

🙏🏼

[@ct1984-x2s]

Had the flair great bike. But when I was done with it was 48lbs. Thing was a beast

[@azerator1819]

I also have one of these Haro Dave Mirra signature bikes from 99, i want to restore it someday, but i just dont have time for it.

[@JeremyPoythress]

I had the same dave mirra and completely restored it before i flat out traded it off. Ketchup works hard on the heavy rust and go over the wheels lightly with pepsi and tin toil. i use to soak bearings and small parts in gas overnight.soap wire pads and sandpaper is a last resort.

[@josephboyle9]

This videos are trippy I bought my socal flyer from that shop years back visiting some fam in SoCal

[@skylarsoper241]

Right on Alf “ that reflector “ 😂😂

[@potaylor9992]

Woo hooo, a follow up. I use windex for grip removal. I say 3peice it, cleaner my opinion I do both though depending on what I'm going for. Don't know about that chain man new chain bars can always spray paint chrome 🤯 yeah yeah. Basically new where needed an the rest run it its clean now. Bmx let's roll I can't wait to see the transformation.

[@chancecsmith]

I get keeping things original. But I don’t thing I could resist the urge to put fresh cranks on that thing.

[@josephcorso5081]

Right if that bike belonged to a rider cranks and bars would have been upgraded.

[@bmxpicker]

Aluminum does rust as seen in some of my videos of BMX survivors that I pick up. Never tried with bleach only use CLR mixed 50/50 with water & it's only $8.00 at your local Walgreens 👍

[@rtaylor1105]

I still have one of those haro mirra's myself. Maybe ill take it for a spin

[@cfmechanic]

Thanks for blessing us with another epic video

[@steves00010]

So after the soak would you sand the pits or put anything on it after to prevent it from rusting again? Asking for a friend...

[@Spankz617]

So I have a couple old school bikes that I need a couple parts for I wonder if this dude can help me find them or if I could ship the bikes to the shop to have them work on it for me I’m from Massachusetts and we don’t have many or any BMX shops out here anymore

[@2bit2strokes38]

I just picked up an old Royce Union trick bike and it's got some rust on the freewheelin the chain and light rust on the handlebars but I don't exactly know what year it is maybe you'll have a way to know

[@HW-75]

That is cool how that turn out. I use Evapo rust remover.

[@coloradodirtbike5930]

Vinegar, naval jelly, and the best for rust is electrolysis...

[@shafiiaziz]

ALFREDO I HAVE QUESTION MY BMX CHAIN IS LARGER SO THUS IT LOOK LIKE SCROLL DOWN MAY BE SO WHAT CAN I DO OR TO PUT NEW CHAIN .

[@LindaVigil]

where do you dispose of the used lighter fluid?

[@hayden6056]

Yep oxyclic acid , nailed itttttt! Great stuff.

[@3clubforever]

Man I want a starion again. Thanks a lot for reminding me. What show was that?

[@pauljames1978]

2:38 some WD-40 and a small flat screwdriver that’s what I would’ve used to get the grips off 👍🚲💨

I want to remove some rust from a frame but keep the og paint and decals. What is my best option?

[@AlfredoMancuso]

Coca cola

Can you use gasoline to clean ur bearing?

[@christopherkerr8112]

Citric Acid works great removing rust from chrome

[@estabanb55]

I noticed the red Haro looks so much like the Mongoose Ace, are they made by the same company?

[@jasonlopez4855]

That's totally good enough to reach Chrome it.

[@thebmxbasement6745]

that t-shirt is dope! Do you sell them?

[@skylarsoper241]

I watch my local bmx shop build new completes , first thing he does is get rid of all the reflectors 😂😂😂

[@andrewhernandez1275]

Soak a towel with the solution and wrap it around the bars so they can soak above the surface, even hand towels work, soak them and wrap whatever you want to be soaked,the towel will hold in place

[@kyzer122]

What do you do if the frame has some chips in the paint?

[@skylarsoper241]

I would replace all the small bits and that crusty gyro , and I would have polished the crap out of all the aluminum pieces, also I would have done a sealed three piece crank profile or power bites …. Then you’d have my 540 air exact same bike just parts as I described lol 😂

[@nickentz4614]

Nothin like some of that good ol mid school grease that smells like garlic and burnt clutch

[@sidezskateshop1556]

Evaporust from Home Depot 5 gallons is $60-70 it no harmful to the skin and you can keep reusing it over and over. If I am wrong let me know. I also need some new rims so you will probably be hearing from me. I love your show, but this evaporust can’t be beat.
