So after losing my front brake today, I skidded into some rocks and gouged the hell out of my stanchion.
Searched, but can't find any info (likely due to the server change) on peoples' methods for repairing them. Anyone care to help me out? What grit sandpaper to use? Do you use a hard backing (block or dowel) on the paper when sanding, or just hold it with your hand? Do you apply nail polish before doing any work, or do you try to sand the rough edges off before filling the gouges?
Thanks.
