Re: Chain Cleaning
Chain whatting?

Re: Chain Cleaning
Quite an interesting video.. looks at which cleaner penetrate past the seal and potentially compromise the lubricant beneath the seal

Re: Chain Cleaning
I'm sure I saw this vid a couple days ago, I was surprised about the kerosene as that's what manufacturers recommend and I know use it too but it does penetrate through the seal!

Re: Chain Cleaning
Spudda's top tip....
Use an old plastic milk carton
Cut it so it fits behind the chain but leaves a reservoir to catch the crud and excess cleaner.
It protects your swing arm, wheel and tyre
I guess I need to show you a picture which I'll do at some point...
