Removing slugs' innards

[Audax67]

Ideas for cleaning catastrophized slugs' guts from rear of fork crown/headset bearing/brake pivot bolt, anyone? Guts in question have dried overnight.

Simply no idea.

How would the mudguard equipped, bearded, sandal wearing CTC know about such things?

Got everything but the sandals...

WD40 or something similar - spray, wait, then wipe with rag/soft brush.

I do have mudguards, but my foot hits the front one so I don't use it. Got the beard too, but I sold the sandals to a guy heading for Athens. He'd lost one of his crossing a stream.

WD40... protein solvent? Well, maybe. It's got domestic degreaser on it right now. Thx for idea.

rehydrate with recently boiled water from the kettle - don't expect the slug to work properly again, though...

Hang on a moment....You met a guy crossing a stream who only had one sandal because he had lost the other one, but presumably generally uses two sandals. You also say that you don't use one of your feet because it hits your front mudguard. So shouldn't you have kept one sandal back for the foot you do use, and, if your spare one happened to match the missing one of the stream crossing gentleman you met, then that encounter surely solved both his and your problems? How long had you been cycling towards Athens carrying a spare sandal hoping to come across a man who just happened to have the misfortune to have lost one of his, or were you carrying the spare sandal for your own use to enable you to change over at some point and use your other foot? How did you get home with no sandals or did he give you the remaining one that he had for you to keep going as a one footed cyclist ?

Man dear, you're worse than me. But not by much.

BTW, solved it. It had dried out this morning so I scraped it off with a fingernail. The slug, that is, not the sandal.

A friend of mine once created 'slugbot' a robot that collected slugs for use as fuel:

Perhaps a bicycle could be adapted ?
