Bunch of Tools -- chemical cleaning of dirt/grease in the sink

Cleaned these tools with some chemical cleaner & rinsed them with water.  They're drip drying in this picture. 

After drying with a paper towel. 

These were also dried using shop-air to get water out of any internal joints... 

These didn't require shop-air drying...

After cleaning


Flat files moved in the garage -- Had to move two outlets...

Moved the flat files into the garage.  Just clears the circuit breaker box(!).  There was a small metal cabinet on the wall that had to be removed first.  Also, two outlets had to be moved up about 9 inches so that they'll still be accessible (green arrows in the above picture).

The 240 V outlet has been moved up already.  The 120 V outlets are in the process in this picture... 

Schwinn Paramount -- Installed the shift cables

Had some good condition used cables.  I also have new cables but this is a used bike with used parts mostly, so using good used cables is actually more appropriate.  they were already about the right length (just slightly long, which is good). 

There's built in cables guides at the bottom of the frame where the bottom bracket goes. 

 

The cables goes through this cable housing stop on the chain stay on the drive side.

Then, it makes the loop through the cable housing into the rear derailleur. 

Just temporarily held the cable in place.  Will cut and cap the end of the cable, after the derailleurs are adjusted.
