Rusty old Bar

(1/5) > >>

JackTheRipper:
just dragged out an old feather steel Olympic bar out my basement & surprisingly not that much rust on there. Just on a sleeve & itīs definitely "eaten" into the metal causing like fine rough pimples on the bar ( donīt know how to say it any other way)
so i know thereīs a load of videos out there telling you to put it in vinegar...wire brush ..etc but i just sprayed it with WD-40  spray, wiped it & then left a layer of WD-40 on there.
will this be enough?  iīm going to start using the bar again.  still spins good.
Chrome bars are better i think as mine is a black feather steel bar. bought in the 90s.

If it spins OK and plates still slide on it OK, I'm sure that's fine.
I know plenty of folks who are old iron fanatics, and spend more time cleaning and refurbishing them, then actually training w/ them.
They have zero muscle and zero physique. Yet a great iron collection. (Odd  ???)

Any markings on teh bar as far as who made it? Some of those old bars are great. Yorks, Eleiko's, etc...

no name on it.  Itīs definitely feather steel , black.  well thatīs what they told me, USA Feather steel & it was expensive for a bar back when i bought it. It dosenīt spin fast like some bars iīve seen today & has very deep aggressive knurling on it.
