Your parts
The drive chain rotates the rear
sprocket mounted on the rear wheel.
Inevitably, this part of the bike gets
dirty, and to replicate this on the die-
cast sprocket of the model, you can
make its surface corrode and appear
dirty, making the model seem more
realistic and used. You can, of course,
choose simply to leave the sprocket
clean, making the bike appear new.
Rear sprocket
Rear brake disc
Take the rear sprocket, a toothbrush and a
small container with water and detergent
in it. The sprocket will come covered in
an oily film which over time will generate
rust, you need to remove the oil before
proceeding. If you want your model to
look like a new and unused bike, you can
leave the sprocket clean. Scrub off the oil
from the surface of the sprocket, using the
toothbrush and soapy water.
Empty the soapy water from the container,
then fill it with clean water. Rinse the rear
sprocket in the water to clean away the oil
and detergent.
