[QUOTE="MazdaFlyer, post: 1217445, member: 13707"] Down and dirty today. I took the crank and bottom bracket apart today. I degreased the old muck from the parts, scraped and wiped them clean. I regreased it all and put it back together, turns smooth now. Then I took the New Departure hub apart and cleaned all its parts up. I greased bearings, clutch and races. I oiled the brake plates and spacers. I managed to get the brake components back into hub on second try. I got it all back together and the wheel back in the bike. The drivetrain is a lot smoother now. I wiped the bike frame down with my soiled oily cleaning rag. Sorta like the effect of boiled linseed oil. Since this is a RatRod, so in staying true with RatRod heritage I don’t think it’s getting any paint. [/QUOTE]
