However, they are aluminium pipes. I wonder how they could get corroded by anything (else than electrolyse, that could actually happen if touching bare steel parts in a salty environment as it could happen with salt on the roads).
Now I'm thinking about it, the second hand upraded brakes caliper I bought were covered in rust, in thick layered sheets. But obviously, aluminium doesn't rust ! So all this rust must come from the discs, splashing rust all around them while spinning.
So chances are your pipes aren't corroded at all (to be checked, of course), but just covered in rust from the discs. In other words, they're just dirty...
