Hi everyone, new to the forum. Just acquired a kona stuff off of a friend. Unfortunatly the past week it had seen some rain and on most of the bolt, torx, and allen key studs theres some rust.

Just wondering if theres any tricks on how to clean these up, especially getting into the groves properly.

Regards.

    Soak them in somethinkg mildly acidic e.g. vinegar
    overnight, scrub clean and make sure they are completely dry.

    headset/stem bolts can be changed for stainless bolts :)

    Ok thanks for the hints. I sorted it out by using gt85, a wire brush and some fine wire wool. Sorted them out a treat.
