For your information, I now have a redundant set, obtained from another member off his 2011 bike that was not maintained well, and so has enough rust on it (as one might expect for a six-year-old bike not washed often enough) at the joints and underneath, that it is a toss-up between trying to remove the rust, or bite the bullet and send them to a re-chrome shop.

So if you be a fairy godfather for someone else who says "Darn, I missed that one" . . .

I don't pawn no shoddy goods, go get your 0000 fine steel wool and start polishing that chrome now!

It is amazing how much rust and dirt it will make completely disappear before you make another 'Tourista' around here very happy.

Soak them for a week or two in white vinegar, it really works.

I'm confused, what is the "washing bike" you speak of?
