Found it! My first look at the the inside of the Fleetwing bottom bracket and spindle. My youngest sister thinks she dropped the bits of hay down through the seat tube way back when. She has also admitted to 'pretending the water hose was connected to a gas pump and 'filling 'er up'.

I removed them and back-filled with new bearings and fresh Phil Wood bearing grease. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
