Replacing the tires on the Cannondale -- Part 1 (corrosion and debris on the front & rear wheel skewer area; corrosion at the drop out area of the fork)

Front wheel.  The skewer is corroded and the spring is corroded/broken on the RH side.

Front wheel.  The corrosion on the LH side of the skewer is even worse.

Corrosion on the fork.  The fork is carbon but the dropout area is steel.

debris and corrosion

Looks like the top gel coat for the carbon was extended over the steel portion but the corrosion has peeled it away.

LH side of the fork outer.  Will have to clean this as much as I can...

Rear wheel. RH side of the skewer has quite a bit of corrosion also.

Rear wheel.  The LH side of the skewer seems to have the least amount of corrosion.
