I have some corrosion on my steerer tube, its a 2012 reba rl. my headtube seems to collect water and it sits in there and rusts the race and bearing. but not sure why theres some spots up the tube in the second photo. I greased part of my steerer tube with kendall super blu high temp grease, I don't know if it had some kind of chemical reaction. I've known about this problem for awhile but can't remember if I had grease on it originally or after I discovered the problem I put grease on it. it would have been kendall super blu high temp auto grease. I have bicycle grease now so debating if I should leave it dry or put that on.
the corrosion near the crown race I scratched away and its maybe a mm deep at most. i dont know what I should do. paint it, tape it? I don't want it to get deeper. also, should I remove my conversion crown race to maybe clean under it, or no?
