    Whats the easiest way to remove rust from the bike?

    I have bits of rust on my brake discs and more on my exhaust.

    Is there a home solution for removing the rust or is there a product better suited for it?

    Many thanks

    Autosol will,with a fair amount of elbow grease get the rust off but being a polish be very carefull about using it near discs

    You could also pinch some of your mums wire wool scourer pads (ones with soap in ) and give that a try

    So it's just a case of basicly scraping it off the disc? Is this also the case with the exhaust?

    Cheers.

    How much rust we talking on the disks, slight discolouration or full on "rust"?

    I'll take a photo when I get home this evening, that'll be better than me trying to explain it and most likely getting it wrong :P

    I wouldnt worry about that, thought you meant on the contact part where the pads clamp the disk under braking. Unless you have OCD and want to clean that up I should leave it.
