Sprockets on the freewheel I was working on are still soaking the penetrating oil and I didn't have much time to get back to cleaning it. But I got another Suntour Cyclone FD. Good condition, overall, and cleaned up nicely. Not even that much grime on it. The only issue was flaking chrome on the inside of the cage plates. I didn't feel I like the idea of the chain transporting flakes of chrome plating all over the drivetrain, so I gently removed the flaky bits with a grinding bit on a rotary tool. All moving parts got some oil and it's now ready to go on the Superator to finish the build.
