how to stop creeping surface rust?
A while back, I damaged the paint around my rack mounting eyelets & the exposed steel started to get a bit orange. I was doing some work on the rear end today & started picking at the peeling paint around the eyelets. The rust had crept quite a bit further than I had expected underneath the paint. I filed/sanded it back a bit & put some clear nail polish over the area to try and seal it up a bit.
Any tips on how to deal with creeping rust from (inevitable) dings/surface damage?
The bike lives inside but sees some pretty considerable use in all weather.
