I got to cleaning it up today. A beautiful 40° or so, and overcast.
Picked up a fresh pack of 0000 steel wool and went to work.
Applied some non-toxic-biodregradable-grill-cleaner to the innards, this stuff sucks, however, the "non-toxic" part is nice.
I like a clean lid vent, but, I'm a little lazy ... as long as I can read it. No big deal.
The top of the "R" in the word "PRODUCTS" is not completely etched into the vent. Anyone else have this? Just wondering.
I then decided to deal with the 26er legs and triangle.
The axle part will not need to be trimmed, but, the post-leg, or, non-wheel leg of the triangle needed to be trimmed.
Got the trusty Dremel out with its fine little cutting wheel ... got it done.
This required one of the supports of the triangle to be removed.
The legs are not exactly snug in the sockets, so, I guess I will have to resort to using some aluminum foil to tighten the fit.
I also lopped off ⅞" of the post-leg, as they are longer for a 26er ... based on an 8" wheel, compared to a 6" wheel.
