Kleen Green was klaar op my hande Ek LOVE daai goed!! Het sommer 'n bottel in my kamer want ek torring elke nou en dan met iets of haal een of ander ding uit mekaar uit en dan's ek lekker vuil...so dis ALTYD naby Maar vir di? job het ek iets sterker nodig...Kleen Green's just not going to do the trick...
Baaisikilist Posted November 18, 2008 Posted November 18, 2008 Use a biodegradable degreaser like prepsol (undiluted) and get scrubbing chick... Then you don't have to worry 'bout wrecking the environment when the time comes to dispose of the parrafin... Where do i get that? ..or maybe i should just go look in the garage...dad's got everything in there...like a massive magic box actually! Not scared of scrubbing! You can find it at most auto spares places like Midas etc. Or as hagar sez, undiluted cleen green also works, but nothing strips oil n grease like prepsol. Just don't wash your frame/entire bike with it, it dulls your paintwork...

ZeroPlay Posted November 18, 2008 Posted November 18, 2008 The only things you want to be putting in paraffin are the chain and cassette. Just wipe the rest clean with rags. If, for example, you dump the rear d?railleur into paraffin, you'll probably never get it working properly again. There are some heavy springs where the cage holding the jockey wheels pivots and it's usually difficult to open it up to relube and very difficult to wind the heavy spring up again if it comes loose. For the STIs (Ergo shifters), pulling the brake lever to expose the internals and spraying them thoroughly with WD40 (so that it drips and runs out, carrying the dirt with it) is the accepted way of cleaning. It's probably good to spray in a lube afterwards - WD40 is apparently is more of a solvent than a lube, so it cleans well but doesn't lube well. Remember to angle the bike so that the stuff drips down into a container on the floor - not all over your bar tape. The bike will probable have the rear wheel higher than the front to achieve this. The thing which usually makes the biggest difference to rejuvinating a groupset is putting on new cables. You'll need some serious cutters to get through gear cable housing, though. All these things take a lot of experience to get right, so maybe get someone whith some "stripping" experience to help for the first few times. ZeroPlay2008-11-18 03:09:32
nellie Posted November 18, 2008 Author Posted November 18, 2008 Thanx Zeroplay...that's what i was wondering about...re. the derailleursI'm not going to mess with the cables just yet though...just want to get the groupset clean so i can store it away until i need it again (will probably start building up the bike next year or the year after that - will shop around for a frame in the meanwhile..) Thinking of making it a TT bike - that's why i needed the 8sp groupset - got a mavic 3G backwheel that i want to start using again. (well...got to start training again first) But i'll get some help in when i start building up the new bike
nellie Posted November 18, 2008 Author Posted November 18, 2008 Next Question... How do you remove the cranks? Don't want to try pull it off if it's not supposed to come off that way...
