After removing the <a href=\"http:\/\/salsacycles.com\/files\/bikes\/5234_SAL_Alternator_Inst.pdf\">Alternator dropouts<\/a> (PDF) I cleaned off any remaining grease on the bottom bracket shell and head tube and liberally fogged the tubes with the corrosion protectant. Tubes were done one at a time with the frame slowly rotated afterward, then once all tubes had been treated I hung\/propped\/laid the frame in all manner of positions to try and ensure that the protectant evenly coated all of the internal surfaces. After a number of rotations I hung the frame to with no tubes horizontal and headed off to get some dinner.<\/p>\n<p>The frame continued to drip and dry, and after arriving home I was able to remove much of the residue left on the frame with isopropyl alcohol and a paper towel. I hope that the MPHD will dry sufficiently over the next two days so that on Friday evening I can assemble the bike. Tomorrow evening I plan on disassembling the <a href=\"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/gallery\/v\/acquired_stuff\/voodoo_dambala\/\">VooDoo<\/a> and piecing together the major components (crankset, wheels, etc) so that come Friday I can properly build up the bike. Perhaps then on Saturday I&#8217;ll be able to go for a test ride out at Stony Creek.<\/p>\n<p>The photo above shows the frame after the initial applications, but still with quite a bit of spill-over in the rear of the frame, on the newspaper spread on the garage floor, along the down tube gusset, etc.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After work today I set to coating the inside of the Salsa El Mariachi frame with Amsoil MPHD .
