greencalx321 ::: Favorites Hi there, I used to take the chain off and scrub it with a brush and some degreaser. That's a bit high maintenance. Now I put the chain in an empty coke bottle, pour in some degreaser, shake & leave for a while. Then take it out (or cut it out of the bottle) & rinse it, hang it to dry, then put it back on the bike & re-lube. It's minimum hassle and very effective. I guess the only way to clean it effectively while it's on the bike is to use one of those specialist cleaning gadgets. 07-10-02 18:53:27 __________________________________________________
pdxktv ::: Favorites Thanks for your comment and your point well taken. I think it may be time for a part two on more thorough chain maintenance, cleaning and lube options. In the meantime, could you please elaborate on your personal procedure to clean the inside of the rollers and links. Regards, Dan 07-10-02 15:10:00 __________________________________________________
greencalx321 ::: Favorites He's only cleaning the outside of the chain - not the inside, where the rollers are and inside the links. That's where the grime is that causes the problems. Please correct me if I'm wrong but you need to clean *all* the gunk from inside, especially if you're riding through winter. All he did was clean the outside of the links and then re-lube. That's just putting lube on top of the lube and grime that's already there. 07-10-02 11:17:19 __________________________________________________

pdxktv ::: Favorites I don't know with Tri-flow. But you must shake white lighting and other lubes vigerously before use. Think vinegar and oil salad dressing. 07-07-27 11:42:18 __________________________________________________
