Just anecdotal advice but using the wrong size crank-puller, even if
it's 'real close', can end up badly (stripped out threads) :O
That's funny...

Use a Sutherland's manual to confirm your crank size and threads and
match them to the puller: if you are even a tad off, you will strip
the crank threads and make a real mess.

Upon more examination as I finally got the chance to clean up the bike
tonight, I think the rust is coming from the Berthoud (composite) fender
attachment. Seems odd they wouldn't use stainless.
I am going to do that annual maintenance and Framesaver though anyway. I've

Rob do you park your bike outside, inside? I've been doing the
Seattle commute all winter too. But so far no rust. (Yea!)
My Sam gets hung up on the wall, indoors, room temp, head down when
I'm at home and parked in an open air garage when I'm at work although
it's pretty deep into that
Ha! Maybe it *is* thawing butterscotch! I've ridden in the sun two days this
week--hardly know what to do with it!
I park the bike in my unheated garage at night, and in my (heated!) office
during the day. Definitely has been put away wet over the winter.
It's definitely rust.

and you won't need to with a sealed bearing bb - just pull it out (as
you'll want to anyway when applying the framesaver), clean the bb
shell and cups, regrease and install. good to go.

I wouldn't get too panicked. It could just be the brake bolt, or

That or you spilled lunch on your fender!Since it is the end of
winter, may as well do an overhaul, right? Can't go wrong with a
little Framesaver.

Hi Rob,
Hard to tell from the photo - but sounds like you're pretty sure it's
rust?
JPW's Framesaver is good stuff, and a lot of LBSs in Seattle carry it.
I know Recycled Cycles used to, and likely still does. I think RBW
uses Boeshield, and that's what I typically use (for chains also.)
Around
Framesaver or Boeshield T-9. Also make sure you're pulling the stem
and seatpost at least once a year to clean off and apply a fresh coat
of grease. For good measure, if you have a long-handled cylindrical
brush (sort of like a large, nylon bristled gun barrel brush), run
that through the steerer
