Just catching up on this, but that Pug has.....potential. There's a lovely bike there screaming to get out from under that gunk !!! Love it!

(Plus, unlike the old Pug car I used to have, it is unlikely to have persistent, untraceable electrical problems and huge clouds of black smoke on winter mornings....)

I agree, I think all will be well

Ooo the fixed cup looks a bit horrible a quick skim on the lathe?

nar, the bearings are pushed out by the axle, they aren't touching the rough bit unless it's not been set right. the race is a bit soiled but not worth fixing. Slap some good lube on it and tell it you love it.

Not the rough bit I'm worried about - it's that groove where the bbs run:

Cheap bb cups can be really soft.

Hardly any wear to speak of. It has a burr which is nowhere near anything, which has been there since manufacturing. Just the zinc passivation worn off.

It was stuck on I had to scrape the crud off.

I see you are taking the old fashioned approach to cleaning bike parts rather than popping them in the dishwasher

Did that. My ordinarily chilled wife was most upset. The dishwasher wouldn't have touched this.

The washing machine works better than the dishwasher imo.

Chainrings, chains, cassettes, dirty tyres (folding only obvs) chuck in a couple of armloads of crap from the laundry bin, hot wash, loads of detergent.
What could possible be wrong with that?
