Gabe T Posted December 3, 2005 Report Share Posted December 3, 2005 Took out my fairly new Coiler for the first ride of the season last week. It looked like there was some surface rust on the edges and even after a day's riding I noticed that there was still some dark discoloration in spots. No colour rubs off when I wipe those areas so I assume this is nothing to be concerned about? I'm sure it would look cleaner if I tuned it, but is it necessary? I did try to cover the edges with wax when putting them away for the summer, but I guess I missed some spots. Gabe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coldrider Posted December 3, 2005 Report Share Posted December 3, 2005 A Gummi Stone will take the discoloration off and have your edge lookng clean, shiny, and smooth. Will remove micro-burrs, too. It's not a bad idea to carry both a gummi and a ceramic or diamond stone in your pocket this time of year--unless you are in Colorado, where the rocks are already waaaaay down deep in the snowpack.

Allee Posted December 3, 2005 Report Share Posted December 3, 2005 The gummi does a great job of taking the rust off. My other half just bought some season old skis that had been sitting in the shop, and they had a bit of surface rust - couple of swipes with the gummi and it was gone.
