Cassie Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 My kids bought these multi coloured "pipe cleaners" from a craft type shop...for some school project.I immediately saw a much much better purpose for them and hi-jacked a couple... AFTER your normal cleaning procedure...i.e the chain scrubber thingy majik...or my method of stripping and solvent wash...THEN you just run this fuzzy pipe cleaner trought each and every link - it cleans everything that usually stays behind...the chain is now cleaner that the day it was bought!! I promise you... Voila...a happy & clean chain!! Sanderis and DR ◣◢ 2
outoftowner Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 Put that in your pipe and smoke it! slowpoke, Sanderis and SamL1220 3
carbon29er Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 Maybe these broke your quick link when you forced 2 through at the same time!
Cassie Posted January 8, 2013 Author Posted January 8, 2013 Maybe these broke your quick link when you forced 2 through at the same time! no chance...they are way too flimsy to cause anything but a cleaning action!!PS: this clean procedure was shot 2 rides before my near long walk....
Cassie Posted January 8, 2013 Author Posted January 8, 2013 Put that in your pipe and smoke it! DAmn right!!! I think I should repackage them and re brand them as a revolutionary chain cleaning kit!!! My next million made...right there!!
Johan Bornman Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 Aag nee man Cassie! Die lewe is te kort vir sulke schemes. Gee die goed terug vir jou arme kinners en was jou ketting nou behoorlik in 'n bakkie Prepsol nadat jy dit afgehaal het. Jy het mos 'n quick lilnk aan of hoe dan? 10 uit 10 vir die Castrol. HeidiB 1

chris_w_65 Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 ....... then oil the links one by one with Squirt I do the one by one. Just mark a link with a marking pen where you start, just as quick as the spray on method and no cleaning up after
Breezer Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 I do the one by one. Just mark a link with a marking pen where you start, just as quick as the spray on method and no cleaning up afterOr just start at the quick link and end there. DR ◣◢ 1
Monre Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 I always remove the chain at the masterlink and clean it with a paint brush in petrol.
chris_w_65 Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 Or just start at the quick link and end there. No masterlink so marking pen works for me
Big H* Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 I always remove the chain at the masterlink and clean it with a paint brush in petrol. And how do you dispose of the petrol after you washed the chain?
