I have a set of xtr m900 chainset and it is dull and heel rub, so want to get them back up looking nice.

Put up some pics pal so we can see them.

Sounds like an easy thing to do, mabey I can help. Lets see them though.

I have posted my (very time consuming :LOL: but very good results :cool: :LOL:) method in one of my build threads (I think it's the Marin) - I can't see why it wouldn't work wonders on cranks to :cool:

Make sure you post up before and after pictures :cool:

Ok, I missed your pics whilst posting the above - they should come up great :cool:

Put a good film on and take your time ;-)

if they are scratched or scored you'll need wet and dry before polish. use as fine a grade as you can but deep scored will need a coarse grain. go through the grades of paper then onto the polish

So p60 dave??


No! 400 or 600 P60 will cause you a serious amount of work espcially on something the size of that. P60 will remove too much material.

I'll post some pics tomoorow of something i've done using 400 only.
