Pure Savage Posted October 24, 2014 Posted October 24, 2014 I see.. I would urge you to learn how to fit and remove chain with a quicklink since it will help you snap a chain whilst riding...Also removing the cassette is very quick...10 seconds max. you will need a lockring remover and chainwhip. Cheap tools. I used to use quick links, then they kept stretching etc and bike shop put on a sram one and said will change the chain for me when I want to switch between two. I use the prepsol and GCN method of cleaning chain etc.
Raydek Posted October 24, 2014 Posted October 24, 2014 guys, try Namgear, awesome product in my opinion, they have a degreaser and all purpose cleaner, available in 5l bottles as well. Price? From?
Thug Posted October 24, 2014 Posted October 24, 2014 I've been using Prepsol on all my bikes for the past 4/5 years. Never had any issues with seals or bearings. I must admit though that I water the concentrate down quite significantly and a 5lt bottle from Midas lasts me close to two years.
neillp Posted October 24, 2014 Posted October 24, 2014 Prepsol I found only stains the paint if it is left on to long. I use it to clean my mx bike, mx kit, mtb and stains on cycling kit. Also use it to was my cars. No problem in 6 years. I did how ever once leave it on to long and had pink mx kit. That sucked

I've been using full strength for the past year or so and no issues... Side note: My bike has many white sections which as yet have not turned pink.
Joffter Posted October 24, 2014 Posted October 24, 2014 25 years of racing MX, washing bikes, white boots, kit and more, Never ever had a problem with anything going pink. Similar amount of years cycling, washing bicycles, and had many white bikes, and never ever had anything stained pink. Never had an issue with anything damaging seals or anything else. And I always just use it neat, not watered down. Only complaint I have is that if you siponing Prepsol and get some in your mouth it tastes k@k.
