So I took some advice I'd gotten here on the forum and tried cleaning up one of my rusty (the rustier one) front fork stanchions with some strips of emery cloth. It worked great, but I'm not so sure about what I found under the rust. What do you think?

That fork tube is very thick steel and the rust doesn't look deep enough to affect it's strength;is that the worst area ?
