Have a set of Grand Sport hubs; that while NOS, have some light rust on the races. I have managed to acquire the proper axles, cones, etc for these but was wondering how to deal with the rust.
Should I just clean them as best I can with toothpaste, solvent, etc and assemble them?
Should I build them up and ride on them a bit and then take apart, clean, and install new bearings?
As I do not claim to be even a mildly competent mechanic, advice would be appreciated.
thanks in advance
