Leave it until the rust is really thick then it'll tighten up on its own. At least that's what I've heard.

I would have to agree with 999, the rust will help in the tightening later in it's life!

You should carefully take it off then beat the owner with it!

I would rather ride mine than clean it but, for the love of God!!!!!!!!!!!

Didn't the Section 8 site say "We like em sloppy loose." I think this qualifies as sloppy.
