De-rusted Inside Of Rims And Primed

Was a nice day today so worked on the wheels.
I ordered some spokes to replace a missing one.
This past week I have been soaking the rims in a DE-rusting solution.
Worked OK ,but had to still use a wire wheel on drill to clean further.
I used a drawer organizer as a tray so I was able to submerge
the rim with the small size bottle of rust remover.
Next I will install Tubes and tires.

Soaking over night

After cleaning

Rust reformer primer.

Apple cider vinegar will also de-rust.

Brian- thought you would have it all done by now without me to bother you. Got back from my drive to CA only to see the -8 weather return. I guess that would really be a challenge in the garage to work on anything. I heading over Monday to pick up my seat which I had done outside to keep it as nice looking as Tom Ruth's cyclekart. Next year on my trip west I am going to stop by his place and check out his cyclekart. Just wasn't enough time in the schedule to do it this year.
