"Basic lead carbonate exposed to sulfur in the presence of an acid-generating source in the paper or paint produces a pink/orange substance of unknown composition."

Hahah

I stand by this.

its not lead paint, its some residue from a solution left on the fork for a bit, then after a long time of direct sunlight it turned pinkish,

the only thing i cant figure out is what solution/chemical did i use?

White paint can turn pink, I've seen it. I doubt the tech at sram knows anything about paint and is probably thinking: duh...white isn't pink, no it can't happen. Either way, it's pink. If you want it gone, get some cut polish, put it on a rag and polish it off.

ok well if anyone still cares i tried everything in my garage that is a redish colour, and this mechanic's polish my dad has is the culpret. it is red/pinkish coloured and doesnt work well with white. soooooo he had spilled some on it once cause where my bike is there is a some still on the ground that hardened.

in conclusion, the fork was fine. sram didnt do anything wrong.


and also i kinda went crazy with the stuff so my whole fork is now pink Big Grin
