Thanks for this, I’m in the UK!
I’ve already dismantled the whole thing so I’m going to hit it with some cleaner and scrubbing - see where we end up.
I have the exploded view and someone on Reddit shared a tear down and re build video so here’s hoping 🙏

I appreciate the honest review and thank you for taking the time.
Since posting this I have completed the tear down, the internals are just as tarnished, but nothing appears broken. I even managed to remove all the rusty looking pins from the planetary bits.
I'm going to have a go at cleaning and building it back up, might need to invest in some evapo-rust or similar. Someone on reddit did suggest wet tumbling the parts but that means building another thing! 😆.
I'm only planning to put it on a low milage, beater type project so the sub-par-ness won't worry me.
especially that internal ring
Which ring are you referring to? and do you happen to know if there are any specific areas that I should focus the cleaning effort?
Cheers.

I was given a fire damaged bike.
From the outside the wheels looked ok but after dismantling the rear hub it looks like they’ve been sitting in water for a long time.
The bearing races look pretty shot, and the internals very rusty. It’s currently having a good soak but I’m 98% sure this needs to go in the bin.
Looking for qualified opinions if you know anything about these. Cheers.
