Rusty brake disks, how to clean them?

(1/3) > >>

Monza-jockey:
I thought I'd ask for help on this topic. The bike has been sitting under a cover in a carport. Due to a period of inactivity, the brake disks got rusty. what is a good safe method to clean them? The front disks have good access, but the back disk is covered by the drive shroud.

advice appreciated  :bow:

Mike Tashjian:
Scotchbrite pads would be my first go to with water.  There are more aggressive ways if the wheels won't turn.  How bad is the rust?

Perazzimx14:
Pull them and get them media blasted.

chuck peterson:
Use..

They’ll rust again because they’re iron, overnight if left in the rain if you’re talking 70-80’s bike and rotor

Stainless came in w the EV?

Vagrant:
Go drive it.
