| Cleaned the Bontrager bottle cage |
 |
| The rust neutralizer was applied twice on the rusty pedal spindles, per the directions (RH side) |
 |
| LH side |
 |
| Rust neutralizer was also applied to this exposed area of the aluminum at the crankset. It doesn't turn black on the aluminum. |
 |
| Cleaned the chainring. It's pretty badly corroded and the teeth are pretty worn. May not have a lot of life left. |
 |
| Installed the cleaned & lubed chain (took it off to clean and lube, since it has a quick release link) |
 |
| Chain fed through the rear of the bike. The bike has not been this clean an lubed since I bought it used about 7 years ago... |
 |
| Adjusted the front derailleur so that with the chain on the big ring up front and on the big gear in the back, the chain does not rub on the derailleur. Most of the time, I ride with the chain on the front big ring and usually use the bigger half of the rear 10 gears. So, there's usually a lot of "cross chain" condition, where the chain is not aligned very straight, front to rear. |
 |
| The bike is ready to ride. New tires, cleaned and lubed skewers, including a new one up front, new front brake cable, front derailleur cable, new LH brake/shift lever assembly, new bar tape, rust neutralizer applied at all the corrosion points, all moving parts checked and items that can be cleaned and lubed taken care of. Will try to test ride it this weekend. |
