shiny everywhere but whats this ..... Rust/patina
I've had to look away
Well… yes, it had been in some Eastwood rust dissolver the night before, but as this is a remover rather than converter, if you forget (as I obviously did) to treat/protect the raw metal surface, it gets a new layer overnight!

I expect the offending object is currently sitting in a bath of evaporust
If I hadn’t have run out, it would have, and as Evaporust converts the rust I wouldn’t have had this problem… anyway, all sorted now..
So, the thumb levers are sorted, and all cabling is complete, nothing left to do but put a chain on….
Which was going to be a NOS boxed and still sealed in its bag Uniglide CN-UG30.. but an eBay search alert advised me of a lightly used Shimano 600 EX Uniglide chain for £15, the only other one I have seen is a New in Box in California for over £70 + shipping + customs charges etc etc…
So, yes, I clicked and now will wait another week before the upgraded Canyon gets its test ride and photo shoot….
