Bikes: (2) ti TiCycles, 2007 w/ triple and 2011 fixed, 1979 Peter Mooney, ~1983 Trek 420 now fixed and ~1973 Raleigh Carlton Competition gravel grinder

Any rust or debris in the seattube that might have fallen into the grease? I never thought of this before, but if there was a chance, a good way to avoid it is 1) do the repack with the bike upside down and 2) use one of those plastic cylinders (Sugino?). (I realize Salamandrine has packed far more BBs than I have.)
