i’ve put it in denatured alcohol for degreasing and actual cleaning. not sure how long tho’? it’s a lot cleaner already, rust aside.

JamesWNeal@moira these days, it's a gateway to a hybrid. https://www.target.com/p/schwinn-women-39-s-gateway-700c-28-34-hybrid-bike-cream/-/A-15305154
@JamesWNeal That's very similar, honestly. Different derailleur, but that's probably just 20-30 years of fashion. Same stupid front pedal arms and gear, same number of gears in back. I wonder if they never updated the hub design or are still using this same old 30-year-old transitional nonsense?
