Got finished polishing my cranks
 

I had my bike apart for its maintenance/inspection routine and I got bored so I decided to polish my cranks (Sugino RD's). I followed most of the DIY guide on polishing the stem in this forum except I used a dremel and bit of simichrome. That stuff works wonders. It's not as bling as much as I want. I only had one polishing wheel.

looks good. nice work.

Looks good. Dang, Air Force barracks look a lot nicer than any of the Navy barracks I was in.

do the chainring too

Anyone know is it's possible to make the inside of Origin-8 track cranks not look so damn lumpy and crappy?

Also, it looks like the rubber on my shoes are messing up the chrome polish on the outside...any fix for that?

Looks good, but I agree, do the chainring, too.

Looks shiny.I agree on the chainring

heh. i "polished my crank" once too. actually, many many times.

To the OP, were your cranks in good condition from the get-go? Any scratches or anything like that?

i really like that workstand...what kind is it?

and as par as endless polishing goes, someone told me in another thread that car wax keeps the shine going on and on and on and on and on...

looks like this stand

Yes. They were in fairly decent condition. A couple of slight scratches from hitting door frames and such, but it came out with a medium abrasive dremel bit.

Yep, that's the PRS-20.

I was such an idiot to join the Army
