I'll start it off...

Scored, worn...

Use it
Fix it up
Sell it on
Bin it

I was just about to start a similar post. Wondering what I can do about this rim? Replace or repair. It was originally chromed but most of the chrome is gone.

Bin it

Great. Anybody know if 26x1-1/4 and 26x1-3/8 rims are the same?

Well I guess the easy answer is no, but with old bikes the easy answer is most often wrong.

Drop it in oxalic acid for a week, you'll be amazed

That's what I've done. It's 26 x 1-1/4 AND 40h so the chances of me find one before Eroica are a million to one. Had a look around online and there's just nothing.

As a precaution, is there any risk if you leave it in too long? I had a stem turn green once with another product.
