MTBiker Posted December 30, 2007 Share Are these good or a waste of money. How long do they last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Big H Posted December 30, 2007 Share Yes they work. I use mine with dishwashing liquid. My BBB clamshell washer has been in use for three years and is stil going strong. Park also makes a decent one. Just ensure your chain is dry before you re-apply lubricant. I do not need a Sram power link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTBiker Posted December 30, 2007 Share how much did it cost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Racer X Posted December 30, 2007 Share Waste of your hard earned cash, use a power link, a tin of parrafin and a paint brush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted December 30, 2007 Share We have one. Waste of money... Good'ol paraffin and an old tooth brush works best! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casspir Posted December 30, 2007 Share Old water bottle, SRAM power link, clean green/dish washing liquid/Prepsol/etc etc, let it soak, wash/scrub, rinse with water, dry thoroughly, oil, reattach to bike. regards, casspir Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willehond Posted December 30, 2007 Share SRAM links rule (or any other chain link). Take it off, throw it in degreaser and use a nailbrush to clean it. Then make sure you rinse it well to get rid of degreaser (or paraffin if you HAVE to) and put it back on the bike and lube each chain link individually. That is satisfying! I have one of the clamshell thingies, but it never really cleaned well, so you can have mine for R20. Plus if you run degreaser through it it will drip via the rear cluster onto the hubs that could very well degrease them. NOT a good idea...

Racer X Posted December 30, 2007 Share clean the chain on the cassette with a brush and parrafin. Kill 2 birds with with stone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Big H Posted December 30, 2007 Share Bliksem!!!! julle Power Link Sram mannetjies hou daarvan om te sukkel. Met die BBB Clamshell sit jy net seep in clamp die wasser vas en draai die trappe en jou ketting is skoon. Geen perrefien ou tanneborsels en 'n damn powerlink wat nie wil oopgaan nie. En nie een van julle mannetjies moet se ek ry met 'n vuil ketting nie. By the way Jason and Racer X how do you get rid of the parraffin residue that stays behind and dillutes the viscosity of your perfectly formulated chain lubricant. Do you realise you shorten the life of your chain by doing this?????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willehond Posted December 30, 2007 Share Oh, and get yourself a cluster removal tool and chainwhip, then you can take your rear cluster off (tie the sprockets together with a ziptie BEFORE they get all mixed up when you take them off) and clean each tooth for a very shiny, new look bike. Takes less time than trying to clean it on the bike plus you don't get degreaser onto the hubs. Only costs about R150 for both tools and it is well worth the effort (you also feel like a real bike mechanic!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Racer X Posted December 30, 2007 Share Just make sure you don't drench your freehub in degreaser.. Its Nasty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As jy die clamshell op die onderste deel van die ketting sit soos dit hoort drup die sperige water af op die grond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Racer X Posted December 30, 2007 Share Williehond use it sparingly if you use a paint brush and just spin it through and then rinse it off then youre singing, if you splash parrafin all over your freehub then you need your head analyzed.Note: Did not direct this to williehond in person Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
